• Abstract: Bone age is an important measure for assessing the skeletal and biological maturity of children. Delayed or increased bone age is a serious concern for pediatricians, and needs to be accurately assessed in a bid to determine whether bone maturity is occurring at a rate consistent with chronological age. In this paper, we introduce a unified deep learning framework for bone age assessment using instance segmentation and ridge regression. The proposed approach consists of two integrated stages. In the first stage, we employ an image annotation and segmentation model to annotate and segment the hand from the radiographic image, followed by background removal. In the second stage, we design a regression neural network architecture composed of a pre-trained convolutional neural network for learning salient features from the segmented pediatric hand radiographs and a ridge regression output layer for predicting the bone age. Experimental evaluation on a dataset of hand radiographs demonstrates the competitive performance of our approach in comparison with existing deep learning based methods for bone age assessment.

  Estimating the Bone Age of children is very important for diagnosing growth defects, and related diseases, and estimating the final height that children reach after maturity. Traditional methods for estimating bone age are performed by comparing atlas images and radiographic images of the left hand, which is time-consuming and error-prone. To estimate bone age using deep neural network models, a lot of research has been done, our effort has been to improve the accuracy and speed of this process by using the introduced approach.

In this paper, based on the convolutional auto-encoder with constraints (CCAE), we propose this model for the classification of the bone age and baptize it BA-CCAE. Experiments on the Radiological Society of North America pediatric bone age dataset show that the accuracy of classifications at 48-month intervals is 76.15%.

  Retinopathy of Prematurity (ROP) is an eye disorder primarily affecting premature infants with lower weights. It causes proliferation of vessels in the retina and could result in vision loss and, eventually, retinal detachment, leading to blindness. In recent years, there has been a significant effort to automate the diagnosis using deep learning. This paper builds upon the success of previous models and develops a novel architecture, which combines object segmentation and convolutional neural networks (CNN) Our proposed system first trains an object segmentation model to identify the demarcation line at a pixel level and adds the resulting mask as an additional "color" channel in
