Abstract

To extract the features of hand X-ray images in more detail, a bone age assessment method based on an improved residual network is proposed. Based on the RUS-CHN method, a lightweight and efficient attention module is combined with the residual network to improve the accuracy of extracting fine-grained features. Experimental results show that on the dataset provided by a certain tertiary hospital in Xi'an, the average absolute errors (MAE) for males and females are 0.4228 years and 0.4341 years respectively. Within a 1-year error range, the accuracy rates for males and females reach 94.6% and 93.7% respectively, significantly improving the accuracy of bone age assessment.
