contents Computer vision has transformed medical diagnosis, treatment, and research through advanced image processing and machine learning techniques. Fracture classification, a critical area in healthcare, has greatly benefited from these advancements, yet accurate detection is challenged by complex patterns and image noise. Bit plane slicing enhances medical images by reducing noise interference and extracting informative features. This research explores partial denoising techniques to provide practical solutions for improved fracture analysis, ultimately enhancing patient care. The study explores deep learning model DenseNet and handcrafted feature extraction. Decision Tree and Random Forest, were employed to train and evaluate distinct image representations. These include the original image, the concatenation of the four bit planes from the LSB as well as MSB, the fully denoised image, and an image consisting of 6 bit planes from MSB and 2 denoised bit planes from LSB. The purpose of forming these diverse image representations is to analyze SNR as well as classification accuracy and identify the bit planes that contain the most informative features. Moreover, the study delves into the significance of partial denoising techniques in preserving crucial features, leading to improvements in classification results. Notably, this study shows that employing the Random Forest classifier, the partially denoised image representation exhibited a testing accuracy of 95.61% surpassing the performance of other image representations. The outcomes of this research provide valuable insights into the development of efficient preprocessing, feature extraction and classification approaches for fracture identification. By enhancing diagnostic accuracy, these advancements hold the potential to positively impact patient care and overall medical outcomes.
