Back Propagation Neural Network-Based Ultrasound Image for Diagnosis of Cartilage Lesions in Knee Osteoarthritis

Objective To explore the application value of ultrasound image based on back propagation (BP) neural network algorithm in knee osteoarthritis (KOA) and evaluate the application effect and value of ultrasound image technology based on the BP neural network in the diagnosis of knee osteoarthritis cartilage lesions, 98 patients who were admitted to our hospital were diagnosed with KOA and had undergone arthroscopic soft tissue examinations were randomly selected. According to whether image processing was performed, the ultrasound images of all patients were divided into two groups. The control group was image before processing, and the experimental group was image after processing optimization. The consistency of the inspection results of the ultrasound images before and after the processing with the arthroscopy results was compared. The results showed that the staging accuracy of the control group was 68.3% and that of the experimental group was 76.9%. The accuracy of staging cartilage degeneration of the experimental group was higher than that of the control group, and the difference was not remarkable ( P > 0.05). The kappa coefficient of the experimental group was 0.61, and that of the control group was 0.40. The kappa coefficient of the experimental group was higher than that of the control group, and the difference was significant ( P < 0.05).Conclusion The inspection effect of the ultrasound image processed by the BP neural network was superior to that of the conventional ultrasound image. It reflected the good adoption prospect of neural networks in image processing.
