Epiphysis and Metaphysis Extraction and Classification by Adaptive Thresholding and DoG Filtering for Automated Skeletal Bone Age Analysis

摘要

The aim of this work is to develop an automated system for skeletal bone age evaluation. Skeletal bone age assessment is a common and time-consuming task in pediatric radiology. We describe a system that implements the EMROI (epiphyseal/metaphyseal region
