Skeletal age estimation in the living : conventional radiography (CR) versus magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and staging technique versus atlas method Universiteit Gent

Hand/wrist and clavicle development both contribute to the age estimate during the considered age range. Nevertheless, in several countries, only CR is considered for skeletal age estimation (2), while international recommendations advocate CT to visualize the ...
