Workflow of the evaluated software BoneXpert version 2.1. After sending the radiograph in DICOM (Digital Imaging and Communications in Medicine) format to the AI (artificial intelligence) software server, the software calculates the bone age of 13 bones (radius, ulna, and 11 short bones in fingers 1, 3, and 5) by application of active appearance models, which have learned the regular shape and density distribution of each analysed bone. After this analysis, the annotated DICOM image is sent back automatically to the PACS (Picture Archiving and Communication System).
