Abstract:
The scarcity of high-quality annotated datasets hinders the development of reliable AI for hip joint pathology diagnosis. To address this, we present Hip-35, a comprehensive 2D hip radiograph dataset for orthopedic abnormalities, with 35,000 curated synthetic images in 35 pathology categories and 76 expert-annotated clinical radiographic examinations. Our key innovation is a three-stage quality control framework ensuring anatomical fidelity and clinical relevance: (1) Chromatic artifact detection via RGB channel-difference thresholding with edge masking, significantly reducing contamination; (2) Multi-metric deblurring with Manhattan distance, cosine similarity, and SSIM-guided fusion; (3) Anatomical hashing deduplication with U-Net-derived ROI signatures and temporal checks. Leveraging Diffusion Mamba's (DiM) efficiency, we generate and refine synthetic candidates through our quality pipeline, achieving 92% acceptance in radiologists' blinded validation. The final dataset includes key clinical variations, such as femoral neck fractures, acetabular deformities, and post-surgical cases. By publicly releasing the dataset and our open-source quality toolkit, this work establishes a new benchmark for medical image augmentation, enabling reproducible AI diagnostic development for rare orthopedic conditions.
