The performance analysis projects that the RF with HOG+LS‐RBRP has an overall better accuracy of 94.7% when compared with HOG (87%) and LS‐RBRP (90.2%) with RF classifier separately in categorizing the normal IVD, disc bulge and disc desiccation in the lumbar spine MRI....
The anterior elements,vertebral bodyandpedicles, normally bear 80% to 90% of the weight. As degenerative changes advance with desiccation and loss of disk height, the posterior elements (facets, pars, and laminae) may come to carry up to 50% of the weight-bearing function. This increases ...
