Abstract:
Bone age is an important index objectively reflecting the growth and development level of children and adolescents, as well as predicting growth potential.It plays a key role in various complicated situations involving clinical medicine, forensic and sports science.The wrist and the extremitas sternalis of clavicle are the most common sites for bone age assessment.Several techniques are available to evaluate bone age, including X-ray plain radiography, ultrasound, CT and magnetic resonance imaging.The accuracy and efficiency of bone age assessment have been continuously improved from traditional manual assessment to automatic assessment.This paper mainly reviews the advances in the techniques and methods for bone age assessment of the wrist and the extremitas sternalis of clavicle.
