Bone age assessment and sex determination using transfer learning

作者：

Highlights：

• An efficient method for prediction of bone age and sex from left-hand radiographs.

• Pre-processing can significantly improve the performance of bone age assessment.

• Very good performance in sex determination from left-hand radiographs.

• Sex information and sex-based models should be incorporated in bone age assessment.
