Abstract

PURPOSE: Many children who undergo MR of the knee to evaluate traumatic injury may not undergo a separate dedicated evaluation of their skeletal maturity, and we wished to investigate how accurately skeletal maturity could be automatically inferred from knee MRI using deep learning to offer this additional information to clinicians.
