Automated Human Bone Age Assessment using Image Processing Methods - Survey

چکیده
Computers have been widely used in the field of medical research over the past few decades. One of the emerging researches in medical imaging is to estimate age of the live or dead human being. Bone Age Assessment (BAA) is directly proportional to Skeletal (Bone) growth assessment. The study for Age Estimation (AE) has been categorized into two: one from live human where the AE is analysed through radiograph images such as X-ray, MRI, CT and DICOM and another from dead human body remains, where the AE can be performed manually (Forensic Study). AE is purely based on the measuring the length and shape of various bones, so radiographic images are must for live human. These radiographic medical images must be well processed for better assessment using various Image Processing Methods. Therefore, this paper present's an overview of various image processing methods applied for automated bone age estimation of live human and discuss some major challenges in storing the medical image datasets.

Cells grow and then need a very neat method to create new cells that work properly to maintain the health of the body. When the ability to control the growth of the cells is lost, they are unconsidered and often divided without order. Exemplified cells form a tissue mass called the tumor. In fact, brain tumors are abnormal and uncontrolled cell proliferations. Segmentation methods are used in b...

متن کاملPredictive Modelling of Bone Age through Classification and Regression of Bone Shapes
Bone age assessment is a task performed daily in hospitals worldwide. This involves a clinician estimating the age of a patient from a radiograph of the non-dominant hand. Our approach to automated bone age assessment is to modularise the algorithm into the following three stages: segment and verify hand outline; segment and verify bones; use the bone outlines to construct models of age. In thi...
