The task is accomplished by first applying the modified histogram equalized module, then applying the proposed automated anisotropic diffusion technique. It is followed by a novel fuzzy quadruple division scheme to optimize the central segmentation algorithm, and then an additional quality assurance scheme. The designed segmentation framework works without demanding scarce resources such as training sets and skillful operators.  The results have shown that the designed framework is capable of separating the soft-tissue and background from the hand bone with high accuracy. This Brief should be especially useful for students and professional researchers in the Biomedical and image processing fields. 410 0$aSpringerBriefs in applied sciences and technology. 606 $aBones$xRadiography 606 $aBones$xGrowth 606 $aSkeletal maturity 615 0$aBones$xRadiography. 615 0$aBones$xGrowth. 615 0$aSkeletal maturity. 676 $a612.7/51 676 $a612.75 700 $aHum$b Yan Chai$01058662 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910438038103321 996 $aSegmentation of Hand Bone for Bone Age Assessment$92501424 997 $aUNINA
