Lightweight deep learning system for automated bone age assessment in Chinese children: enhancing clinical efficiency and diagnostic accuracy by Pang Hai, Zhang Bin, Liu Kesheng, Li Cong, Xu Fei

“…In the first stage, the YOLOv8 algorithm precisely localizes 13 key epiphyses in hand radiographs, achieving a mean Average Precision (mAP) of 99.5% at Intersection over Union (IoU) = 0.5 and 94.0% within IoU 0.5–0.95, demonstrating robust detection performance. The second stage employs a modified EfficientNetB3 architecture for fine-grained epiphyseal grade classification, enhanced by the Rectified Adam (RAdam) optimizer and a composite loss function combining center loss and weighted cross-entropy to mitigate class imbalance. …”
