Migration percentage (MP) is the gold standard to assess the severity of hip displacement in children with cerebral palsy, which is measured on anteroposterior hip radiographs. Recently, the ultrasound (US) method has been developed as a safe alternative imaging modality to image and monitor children's hips. However, measuring MP on US images (MP) is time-consuming, challenging, and user-dependent.

The magnetically controlled growing rod technique is an effective surgical treatment for children who have early-onset scoliosis. The length of the instrumented growing rods is adjusted regularly to compensate for the normal growth of these patients. Manual measurement of rod length on posteroanterior spine radiographs is subjective and time-consuming.

Manual measurements of migration percentage (MP) on pelvis radiographs for assessing hip displacement are subjective and time consuming. A deep learning approach using convolution neural networks (CNNs) to automatically measure the MP was proposed. The pre-trained Inception ResNet v2 was fine tuned to detect locations of the eight reference landmarks used for MP measurements.
