Summary

Bone age assessment in children is based on the interpretation of hand x-ray scans according to Greulich and Pyle (GP) standard atlas and frequently used for evaluating growth and puberty in children and adolescents.

To address the disadvantage of repeated irradiation, the need for specialized radiation centers, heavy equipment and subjective reading a new device, SonicBone was developed. SonicBone utilizes a quantitative ultrasonographic technology of ultrasonic (US) waves, propagating along a measured bone distance. The aim of the study is to evaluate an ultrasound based device, SonicBone, compared to the current method in children. The investigators will be compared the US assessment to available bone age X-ray that exists in the medical files of the patients. The investigators will not do bone age X-ray scans especially for the current study.
