Summary

Bone age assessment is currently an important tool in final height implication in children. It is an important tool in the phases of investigation and treatment of short stature, tall stature, pubertal timing and various endocrinological pediatric situations. It is currently assessed using hand x-ray. This method has several limitations, including: requirement of specialized medical staff to interpret results, exposure radiation and usage of equipment which is only in radiology centers. The investigators aim to study a new equipment, radiation free, with simple and swift operation which provides an immediate answer, no need for an experienced observer, a mobile equipment with easy accessibility. The aim of the study is to assess its reproducibility, validity and safety compared to the x-ray method.

The investigators hypothesize it is as accurate and valid.
