Abstract

ABSTRACT Bone age assessment is used to diagnose paediatric growth because some types of bone diseases occur in childhood. To overcome these issues, AlexNet-Based Deep Convolutional Neural Network Optimized with the Group Teaching Optimization Algorithm is proposed. First, input images are gathered via RSNA paediatric bone age dataset. These images are preprocessed using Wavelet Packet Transform Cochlear Filter Bank. Then input hand X-ray images’ ROI is segmented using Bayesian fuzzy clustering. Then segmented ROI region is fed to ADCNN that accurately predicts BAA. In general, ADCNN does not divulge any optimization techniques adopted for determining the optimal parameters and ensuring accurate classification. Therefore, the GTOA is used to optimize the ADCNN weight parameters. The proposed approach is done in MATLAB and various performance metrics such as accuracy, F-score, sensitivity, precision, specificity, CCC and CC. The BAA-ADCNN-GTOA method provides higher accuracy 23.75%, 17.97%, 31.65% compared with existing methods, like BAA-CNN-RRNN, BAA-RNN-AF-SFO, BAA-U-Net-CTO- WOA, respectively.
