Females 2707 and 3781 from the RSNA study. The automated method accepted only 9 and 10 of the 21 tubular bones, which was just above the 8 bones needed for the entire analysis to succeed. In the first image, the overlap between radius and lunate is likely to have caused radius to be rejected; and the pose of the middle and distal phalanges in finger 2–4 is incorrect due to flexion. In the second image, there is brachydactyly in the second and fifth middle phalanges, and the second and third proximal phalanges have thick epiphyses, suggesting the monogenic disorder Brachydactyly Type C. For clarity, the bone contours are drawn in alternating colours. The numbers indicate the GP bone ages.
