| Abstract | Segmentation of anatomical structures in radiological images is one of the important steps in the computerized approach to the bone age assessment. In this paper a method dealing with correct location of the borders in the epi-metaphyseal regions of interest is described. The well segmented bone structures are obtained utilizing the Gibbs random fields as the first segmentation step; however this method does not prove to be adequate in the correct outline of other tissues in the epi-metaphyseal area. In order to correct delineation of cartilage in this region, the second segmentation step utilizing the active contours serving as a post-segmentation edge location technique is applied. Controlling of tension and bending of the active contour requires a set of weights in the energy functional to be set. To adjust the weights and to initially test the methodology a model of region of interest containing three different anatomical structures corrupted with Gaussian noise has been designed. Combined methodology of Gibbs random fields and active contours with the final set of weights was applied to 200 regions of interest randomly selected from 1100 left hand radiographs. A meaningful improvement in terms of ultimate contour location and smoothing has been observed in regions with cartilage or bone convexity developed near the bottom region of the epiphysis. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
