- Bone age assessment is the evaluation of skeletal maturity. For decades, it was determined by examining the X-ray of a patient’s hand and wrist and matching it using an atlas of 200 images.
- Artificial intelligence (AI) is manifest when machines develop an ability to not only recognize patterns but also apply those patterns in meaningful ways.
- Use of AI for semi-automated evaluation of bone age is the first deep learning medical image application to be deployed clinically at Mass General.
