Deep Learning Framework for Automatic Bone Age Assessment.

Bone age Assessment or the skeletal age is a general clinical practice to detect endocrine and metabolic disarrangement in child development. The bone age indicates the level of structural and biological growth better than chronological age calculated from the birth date. The X-Ray of the wrist and hand is used in common to estimate the bone age of a person. The degree of agreement among the autom...

Spatial Detection of the Shafts of Fractured Femur for Image-Guided Robotic Surgery.

Femur fractures due to traumatic forces often require surgical intervention. Such surgeries require alignment of the femur in the presence of large muscular forces up to 500 N. Currently, orthopedic surgeons perform this alignment manually before fixation, leading to extra soft tissue damage and inaccurate alignment. One of the limitations of femoral fracture surgery is the limited vision and two-...
