New open-source system automates skeletal maturity assessment

Researchers have developed BoneAgeTW2, an open-source system designed to automate the Tanner-Whitehouse 2 (TW2) protocol for assessing skeletal maturity. The system utilizes YOLOv8 for bone detection and EfficientNet-B3 for classifying maturation stages of 20 hand bones. It generates detailed clinical PDF reports with distribution curves, comparing bone maturation against population norms. The model was trained on a large dataset of pediatric hand radiographs and its complete codebase is publicly available. AI

IMPACT This system could streamline clinical workflows for skeletal maturity assessment, potentially improving diagnostic speed and consistency.

RANK_REASON The cluster describes a new research paper detailing an open-source system for medical image analysis. [lever_c_demoted from research: ic=1 ai=1.0]
