YOLOv10-PDTFN: An integrated ROI segmentation and transformer fusion framework for osteoporosis classification in knee radiographs.

INTRODUCTION Reduced bone mineral density and degeneration of bone microarchitecture are hallmarks of Osteoporosis, a degenerative skeletal condition that raises the risk of fractures. Due to the subjective nature of conventional radiography assessment and the potential for inter-observer variability, early diagnosis a...
