Abstract
|
|
|
Objectives: The purpose of this study was to suggest a new method for measurement of children’s growth development Ultrasound transonic velocity of inferior radiocarpal joint has some advantages that it is harmless to human body and apply a new analysis algorithm, it can be used for the diagnosis of bone age.
Methods: This clinical study have been carried out with the 117 case(male 68, female 49) of the children aged 5 to 16 years old who visited in Department of Pediatrics, ${\bigcirc}{\bigcirc}$ university Oriental Hospital. Bone maturity is measured by Ultrasound transonic velocity and X-ray image of growth plate in inferior radiocarpal joint. This study were designed to investigate the relationship of the bone age by Ultrasound transonic velocity and X-ray image.
Result and Conclusion: The maturity of growth plate of inferior radiocarpal joint was correlated with age, height, weight, BMI in this study(P<0.001). The Ultrasound transonic velocity of inferior radiocarpal joint are sufficient diagnostic worth as an index to predict bone maturity.
