Expert system for automated bone age determination
作者：
Highlights：
• We develop an automated bone age determination system for overall and part bone ages.
• We develop fusion rules for multiple classifiers with more than three classes.
• Bone age determination can be viewed as the weighted sum of five part bone ages.
• The weights indicate that part 1 (the distal phalanges) has the highest priority.
• We validate the system based on different classifiers’ performances.
