Abstract

Arthritis is a musculoskeletal disorder. Millions of people have arthritis, making it one of the most common joint disorders. Osteoarthritis (OA) and rheumatoid arthritis (RA) are the most common types of arthritis among the many different types available. Pain, stiffness, and inflammation are among the early signs of arthritis, which can progress to severe immobility at a later stage if left untreated. Although arthritis cannot be cured at any point in time, it can be managed if diagnosed and treated correctly. Clinical diagnostic and medical imaging methods are currently used to evaluate OA and RA, both debilitating conditions. This review is focused on deep learning approaches used by taking medical imaging (X-rays and magnetic resonance imaging) as input for the detection of RA.© 2023 the author(s), published by De Gruyter.
