Abstract

This chapter informs the readers about the background of bone age assessment of which include the clinical practicality, and the pros and cons of the conventional methods of this assessment. After that, we explain the automated system that is capable of substituting the conventional methods by further elaborating the pitfalls and constraints of this alternative. Then, we define our objective in this book and delimit the discussion scope of this book follow by stating the contributions of this book for the field in hand bone segmentation. Lastly, we provide the outline of the book.
