Knee injuries is quite common in sport injuries and one of the most frequent happen are anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) knee injuries. There are two types of ACL injuries which are partial tear and complete tear. Currently physical tests, MRI image interpretation from expert and arthroscopy method are used to diagnoses the injuries. These procedures somehow are time consuming, invasive and operator dependent. To overcome these limitations, the intelligent diagnostic system using artificial neural network (ANN) has been proposed as an alternate way to give an early detection and also to classify the types of ACL injuries. We have used BP ANN and k-NN for the classification purpose. From these both classifiers, BP ANN give the higher accuracy which is 94.44% compared to k-NN classifier which the highest accuracy only up to 87.8333%.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
