Abstract
X-rays, Computed Tomography (CT) scans, Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI), and ultrasound scans are examples of common medical imaging methods. These techniques are highly effective at extracting features, classifying, and diagnosing bone and muscle injuries. Enhancing athletic performance, minimizing injuries, and promoting players' overall health are the main goals of the vital discipline of sports medicine. Sports feature extraction of medical images, and sports medicine specialists help athletes reach their full potential while preserving their long-term health by preventing injuries and providing precise diagnoses. We proposed a feature extraction approach for sport CT inquiry images, which were first preprocessed and then subjected to wavelet multi-scale analysis. The CT scan image of a sports injury is broken down into different directions based on smooth and rough regions. The Non-Down- Sampled Contour Transformation (NSCT) and Pyramid Bank (NSPFB) model is applied to the CT image of a sports injury. Furthermore, we employed Feedforward Neural Networks (FNNs), Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs), and recurrent neural networks (RNNs) for medical image diagnosis. The model was tuned by using hyperparameters. We proposed a feature-extraction model for medical CT scans of sports injuries and provided supporting statistics for medical diagnosis. The CT scan image of the sports injury is subdivided into different sub-directions based on smooth and rough regions. Furthermore, enhanced sub-regain is achieved using an adaptive gamma correction and multi-directional image enhancement via wavelet layering. Our proposed method has demonstrated a remarkable accuracy of 88%, while the deep learning model TabNet-Transform has achieved an imposing 90%. The proposed algorithm improves the quality of the output images and is computationally efficient. Current research indicates that the most vital area of medicine is image analysis, which helps radiologists to make more accurate diagnoses. The feature extraction process involves extracting valuable information from higher-level representations, such as the Region of Interest (ROI) for image analysis, and transforming the image from these representations into lower-level pixel data. The performance analysis of the proposed scheme yielded an efficient extraction time. When extracting feature characteristics for 10 to 30 medical CT images of sports injuries, the average computation time is 2ms to 6 ms. This research explored the application of machine learning and advanced artificial intelligence models to predict disease diagnosis and to enhance feature extraction from medical CT images of sports injuries. However, several variables impact the original image, including removing image noise and detecting specific regions or objects of interest. Our findings pave the way for further investigations of sports injury and early disease prognosis. We may incorporate data from wearable devices to improve their predictive power and extract the desired features for disease prognosis analysis.
