Automated Bone Age Assessment
surgeons can estimate growth by determining a child's “bone age”. They do this by taking an x-ray of the hand and wrist to see which growth plates are still open. Automated bone age assessment is essential topic in the clinical practice of evaluating the Age of the children because the manual method is time-consuming. To avoid observer variability, it means failure by the observer in a test to measure accurately, resulting in error. so, we can use hand mask images from a raw x-ray images. Because the manual method is time-consuming and prone to observer variability, it is attractive to develop computer-aided and automated methods for Bone Age Assessment. In this i present a fully automatic method.
