Abstract: A method for use of machine learning in computer-assisted anatomical prediction. The method includes identifying with a processor parameters in a plurality of training images to generate a training dataset, the training dataset having data linking the parameters to respective training images, training at least one machine learning algorithm based on the parameters in the training dataset and validating the trained machine learning algorithm, identifying with the processor digitized points on a plurality of anatomical landmarks in a radiographic image of a person's skeleton displayed on a screen by determining anatomical relationships of adjacent bony structures as well as dimensions of at least a portion of a body of the skeleton in the displayed image using the validated machine learning algorithm and a scale factor for the displayed image, and making an anatomical prediction of the person's skeletal alignment based on the determined anatomical dimensions and a known morphological relationship.
