Hand Bone Age

Beschreibung

In the past, determination of bone maturity relied on visual evaluation of skeletal development in the hand and wrist, most commonly using the Greulich and Pyle atlas. The Gilsanz and Ratib digital atlas takes advantage of digital imaging and provides a more effective and objective approach to assessment of skeletal maturity. The atlas integrates the key morphological features of ossification in the bones of the hand and wrist and provides idealized, sex- and age-specific images of skeletal development. New to this revised second edition is a description and user manual for Bone Age for iPad®, iPhone® and iPod touch®, which can be purchased and used separately from this book. Bone Age enables users to rapidly browse through the set of idealized atlas images and select the one that best matches the image being interpreted. The calculated deviation of the patient's age from the normal range is immediately presented to help predict possible growth delays.This easy-to-useatlas and the related App will be invaluable for radiologists, endocrinologists, and pediatricians and also relevant to forensic physicians.

From the reviews of the second edition:

“The book is well organized and easy to read. … This book is well suited to the medical personnel of this generation, who are more sophisticated users of electronic media. … This book reviews the principles of the technique and the current literature as well as the future directions of skeletal maturity determination. … Hand Bone Age: A Digital Atlas of Skeletal Maturity is an essential text for all radiologists who are interested in this exciting new technology.” (Khalid Khashoggi, Radiology, Vol. 264 (2), August, 2012)
