In this paper, the interferences of X-ray image noise on a bone age model, Xception model, were studied. We conduct a comparative experiment test according to the output performance of the neural network model using both the original image training and noise-added (Gaussian noise plus salt-pepper noise) training, and analyze the anti-interference ability of the Xception model, hoping to improve it through noise enhancement training and generalize the application ability of the model. The results show that the model trained with noise-added (Gaussian noise plussalt-pepper noise) images can make predictions that are more robust and less affected by the image disturbances, such as image noise.
