<p>The invention is a method for estimating a skeletal maturity value of a human from a radiograph of one or more bones in the hand. The borders of the bones are represented by shape points, which are subjected to principal component analysis (PCA). Image intensities are sampled at points located relative to the shape point, and also compressed with PCA. From the features a skeletal maturity value is determined.</p> |
