Abstract:Abstract:Skeletal maturity is a reliable indicator of growth and skeletal bone age assessment (BAA) is used in the management and diagnosis of endocrine disorders. Bone age can be estimated from the left-hand wrist radiograph of the subject. The work presented in this paper proposes the development of an efficient technique for segmentation of hand-wrist radiographs and identifying the bones specially used as Regions of Interest (ROIs) for the bone age estimation process. The segmentation method is based on th… Show more
