Bone age assessment is done to analyse the skeletal maturity according to their chronological age. This is done by radiograph method considering the left hand or wrist. Bone age assessment is done by comparing the chronological age to assess the endocrine disorders and pediatric syndromes. Earlier the manual method was used, where the radiologists compare the radiograph image with the atlas and estimate the age of the bone. In this study, the analysis and classification of the x-ray image of the left hand is experimented to determine the bone age. Here the bone age analysis method involves the segmentation of the image, feature extraction and classification using support vector machine(SVM). The results obtained is future used to assess the skeletal abnormalities. © 2022, The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Singapore Pte Ltd.
