OsteoCAD: A Human-in-the-Loop Cloud-Edge Framework for Bone Tumor Segmentation

Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Deep Learning (DL) have notably advanced medical image analysis, yet many health- care organizations struggle to adopt them due to limited com- putational resources and specialized expertise. To address these barriers, we introduce OsteoCAD, a modular eHealth framework that democratizes access to DL tools in clinical practice. Osteo- CAD delivers end-to-end DL capabilities-from dataset creation and preprocessing to model training and inference-through an integrated and user-friendly interface. To mitigate local hardware constraints, the framework securely connects to remote GPU infrastructures. We validate OsteoCAD's feasibility through a real-world case study in Mexico focused on large bone tumor segmentation. The results demonstrate the framework's ability to enable DL-powered eHealth solutions without demanding ad- vanced technical expertise or complex local configurations.

A Computer-aided Framework for Detecting Osteosarcoma in Computed Tomography Scans

Osteosarcoma is the most common primary bone cancer, mainly affecting the youngest and oldest populations. Its detection at early stages is crucial to reduce the probability of developing bone metastasis. In this context, accurate and fast diagnosis is essential to help physicians during the prognosis process. The research goal is to automate the diagnosis of osteosarcoma through a pipeline that includes the preprocessing, detection, postprocessing, and visualization of computed tomography (CT) scans. Thus, this paper presents a machine learning and visualization framework for classifying CT scans using different convolutional neural network (CNN) models. Preprocessing includes data augmentation and identification of the region of interest in scans. Post-processing includes data visualization to render a 3D bone model that highlights the affected area. An evaluation on 12 patients revealed the effectiveness of our framework, obtaining an area under the curve (AUC) of 94.8\% and a specificity of 94.6\%.
