title: [Description of finger shape in the process of growing during infancy].
abstract: In this paper, a new method of estimating bone age is reported that is based on the use of spatial description parameters and fourier frequential descriptors, which presents the boundary shapes detected in finger bones X-ray films of 0-, 3-, 6-, 9-month baby according to their bone shape changes in different stages.
