Abstract
The article presents the fuzzy membership functions to evaluate the carpal growth maturity in pediatrics. Geometric condition of carpals was analyzed to extract the computerized features of carpals. In addition, principal component analysis was also recruited as the selector in de-fuzzy process. The resultant membership functions were sent into the bone age estimation to identify the efficiency. The simulation results indicated the misclassification of bone age was less than 10% within 1.5 year´s tolerance.
