The proposed three-stage approach for automated continuous grading of knee osteoarthritis (OA) uses anomaly detection principles to learn a robust representation of healthy knee X-rays and grade disease severity based on distance from normality. The method, which includes self-supervised learning with SS-FewSOME, pseudo labeling, denoising with CLIP, and dual centre representation learning (DCRL), outperforms existing techniques by up to 24% in OA detection and correlates with human expert performance.

This paper proposes a new way to grade the severity of knee osteoarthritis using X-ray images. The method is designed to be more accurate and less reliant on labeled data than current approaches. It works by first learning what healthy knee X-rays look like, then grading disease severity based on how different an image is from normal. This approach outperforms existing methods in detecting OA and correlates with human expert performance.
