Title: Hand bone age estimation using divide and conquer strategy and lightweight convolutional neural networks
Authors: Amin Ahmadi Kasani, Hedieh Sajedi,
Abstract summary: 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.

Abstract: 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. For this reason, it is widely used in different countries. 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. After creating and analyzing our initial model, we focused on preprocessing and made the inputs smaller, and increased their quality. we selected small regions of hand radiographs and estimated the age of the bone only according to these regions. by doing this we improved bone age estimation accuracy even further than what was achieved in related works, without increasing the required computational resource. We reached a Mean Absolute Error (MAE) of 3.90 months in the range of 0-20 years and an MAE of 3.84 months in the range of 1-18 years on the RSNA test set.

An Unsupervised Deep-Learning Method for Bone Age Assessment [4.227079957387361]
The bone age, reflecting the degree of development of the bones, can be used to predict the adult height and detect endocrine diseases of children. 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%.

Using machine learning on new feature sets extracted from 3D models of broken animal bones to classify fragments according to break agent [53.796331564067835]
We present a new approach to fracture pattern analysis aimed at distinguishing bone fragments resulting from hominin bone breakage and those produced by carnivores. This new method uses 3D models of fragmentary bone to extract a much richer dataset that is more transparent and replicable than feature sets previously used in fracture pattern analysis. Supervised machine learning algorithms are properly used to classify bone fragments according to agent of breakage with average mean accuracy of 77% across tests.

Infant Brain Age Classification: 2D CNN Outperforms 3D CNN in Small Dataset [0.14063138455565613]
Brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of infants demonstrates a specific pattern of development beyond myelination. With no standardized criteria, visual estimation of the structural maturity of the brain from MRI before three years of age remains dominated by inter-observer and intra-observer variability. We explore the general feasibility to tackle this task, and the utility of different approaches, including two- and three-dimensional convolutional neural networks (CNN) In the best performing approach, we achieved an accuracy of 0.90 [95% CI:0.86-0.94] using a 2D CNN on a central axial thick slab.

Deep learning techniques for brain age prediction from magnetic resonance images are investigated. The identification of biomarkers is useful for detecting an early-stage neurodegenerative process, as well as for predicting age-related or non-age-related cognitive decline. The best result was obtained by the 2D model, which achieved a mean absolute error of 3.83 years.

Brain age estimation from Magnetic Resonance Images (MRI) derives the difference between a subject's biological brain age and their chronological age. Early detection of neurodegeneration manifesting as a higher brain age can potentially facilitate better medical care and planning for affected individuals. We develop a new deep learning approach that uses 3D patches of the brain as well as convolutional neural networks (CNNs) to develop a localised brain age estimator.

Anatomy-aware 3D Human Pose Estimation with Bone-based Pose Decomposition [92.99291528676021]
Instead of directly regressing the 3D joint locations, we decompose the task into bone direction prediction and bone length prediction. Our motivation is the fact that the bone lengths of a human skeleton remain consistent across time. Our full model outperforms the previous best results on Human3.6M and MPI-INF-3DHP datasets.
