The crack can occur in any bone ofour body. Broken bone is a bone condition that endured a breakdown of bone trustworthiness. The Fracture can't recognize effortlessly by the bare eye, so it is found in the x-beam images. The motivation behind this task is to find the precise territory where the bone fracture happens utilizing X-Ray Bone Fracture Detection by Canny Edge Detection Method. Shrewd Edge Detection technique is an ideal edge identification calculation on deciding the finish of a line with alterable limit and less error rate. The reproduction results have indicated how canny edge detection can help decide area of breaks in x-beam images. In the base paper, the cracked bit is chosen physically to defeat this downside, the proposed technique identify the bone fracture consequently and furthermore it quantifies the parameter like length of the crack, profundity of the fracture and the situation of the crack as for even and vertical pivot. The outcome demonstrates that the proposed technique for crack identification is better. The outcomes demonstrate that calculation is 91% exact and effective

The bone fracture is the most common problem and is likely to occur due to traumatic incidents like vehicle accidents, sporting injuries or due to conditions like osteoporosis, cancer related to bones. Fracture cannot be viewed by naked eye and so X-ray, CT, ultrasound, MRI images are used to detect it. These images cannot be diagnosed directly and henceforth image processing plays a very important role in fracture detection. This paper presents an image processing technique that uses Laplacian method of edge detection for accurate identification of fractured bone area from the X-ray/CT images. From the fractured bone area several parameters like mean, standard deviation are calculated in order to analyze the accuracy and sensitivity of the used technique. NIVISION assistant software is used and the statistical parameters are calculated.


X-Ray is one of the most commonly used medium to extract the images of any bone in the body.Fracture of a bone is most common in recent days due to accidents or any means.In order to detect whether there is a fracture or not the orthopaedics suggest for x-ray.In many places due to more patients there might be a delay of doctor consult which may leads to the increase in the severity of problem.In order to avoid this we have proposed an automatic bone fracture detection system where a system is trained about the fractures and further used to detect the fractures in a bone in the x-ray images.ANN,PNN.BPNN are the classifiers used for bone fracture detection where BPNN has given more prominent results compared to ANN and PNN with an accuracy of 82%.
