    Osteoporosis is a progressive skeletal disease characterized by low bone mineral density and a high risk of fractures.

  • 2

    The proposed deep learning model combines Rolling Guidance Filtering with pretrained CNNs to classify osteoporosis from knee X-ray images.

  • 3

    The model achieved an accuracy of 96.5%, an AUC of 0.97, and an F1-score of 89.5 in classifying osteoporosis.

    Edge-preserving image enhancement and deep feature fusion significantly improve diagnostic performance compared to traditional methods.

  • 5

    The automated detection method has potential clinical applications, especially in resource-limited settings with limited access to advanced imaging.
