Determination of Skeletal Age From Hand Radiographs Using Deep Learning
Leveraging newer DL technologies trained on >20,000 hand radiographs across 3 distinct, diverse data sets, this study developed a robust model for predicting bone age. Utilizing features extracted from an RSNA model, combined with chronological age inputs, this model outperforms previous state-of-the-art models when applied to validation data sets. These
