Computer-assisted bone age assessment image preprocessing and epiphyseal

Computer-assisted bone age assessment image preprocessing and epiphyseal

Clinical assessment of skeletal maturity is based on a visual comparison of a left-hand wrist radiograph with atlas patterns. Using a new digital hand atlas an image analysis methodology is being developed. To assist radiologists in bone age estimation. The analysis starts with a preprocessing funct...
