    Glossary Bone Age

    measure of skeletal maturity using X-ray comparisons

    Bone age, also known as skeletal age, is a measure of the maturity of a child's bones. It is determined by comparing X-ray images of the child's hand and wrist to standard reference images that represent average bone development at various ages. This assessment helps doctors evaluate growth disorders and predict future growth potential.
