Interpretable and parameter optimized ensemble model for knee osteoarthritis assessment using radiographs

Abstract Knee osteoarthritis (KOA) is an orthopedic disorder with a substantial impact on mobility and quality of life. An accurate assessment of the KOA levels is imperative in prioritizing meaningful patient care. Quantifying osteoarthritis features such as osteophytes and joint space narrowing (J...
