【 摘 要 】

In this paper, we investigate the urgent problem associated with bone age determination using hand X-rays. A combined algorithm for the recognition of radiographs is proposed, which uses simultaneous two neural network models, based on Xception and DenseNet169. The method allows to generalize the knowledge of different medical experts and increases the accuracy of bone age prediction in general.
