Abstract
OBJECTIVES: Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a severe and common autoimmune disease. Conventional diagnostic methods are often subjective, error-prone, and repetitive works. There is an urgent need for a method to detect RA accurately. Therefore, this study aims to develop an automatic diagnostic system based on deep learning for recognizing and staging RA from radiographs to assist physicians in diagnosing RA quickly and accurately.
