Rheumatoid arthritis is a disease that causes inflammation in Joints due to an abnormality in the immune system, and as the symptoms progress, it causes deformity in the joints and interferes with daily life. This assessment of the progression of rheumatoid arthritis is graded from grade 0 to grade 3 and is made by the doctor by visual inspection of the ultrasound images of the affected area. However, the visual inspection results depend on the doctors and are time consuming. This study aims to develop an automated diagnostic system for rheumatoid arthritis using imaging diagnosis to help the medical community.
