Computer Vision for Medical Image Analysis: Detection and Segmentation of the Proximal Femur in Legg-Calvé-Perthes Disease using Deep Learning

Project Description

This repository contains the contents of an exam project in the course Data Science at the Master's degree in Cognitive Science at Aarhus University. More specifically it contains the relevant scripts for:

1. Detection and localisation of the proximal femur in X-ray images of Legg-Calvé-Perthes Disease patients using YOLOv5
2. Semantic segmentation of the proximal femur on cropped images of detected proximal femurs obtained in (1)

Usage

! The scripts have only been tested on Linux, using Python 3.9.10. Due to ethical and legal concerns, the data of this project cannot be shared on this repository. Nevertheless, scripts and directions on how the scripts were used are provided in the README.md files of the subdirectories.
