They don't bother because your father has access to tech which automatically assesses bone age (BoneXpert) if they need to

we can't get access to that kinda tech and quite frankly it wouldn't be worth paying the 300$+ license fee

but bone age assessment is normal in radiology, it's just quicker than this

NGL I didn’t read thread before making my quick comment. My father doesn’t use BoneXpert or an AI software, he does it manually when he needs to (rarely..). A physician estimate is slightly worse than the AI BoneXpert estimation on average off the top of my head but working together they’re more accurate w/ 2 estimation points.

I’d be hesitant to call this normal. For what I’m aware, this info only applies to kids / pediatricians working with kids w/ relatively older bone age than real age and vice versa, along with/ kids who have actual growth problems. Yes the info is used but the vast majority of people w/o observable growth problems don’t bother using ts.

It should become more useful in the future as parents start optimizing their children’s growth.

For anyone wondering, it is possible to slow down accelerated bone age (and therefore prolong growth) and vice versa using hormonal methods. I don’t think about this often tho cuz I’m 18 alr.

Good thread.

Understandable, I'm surprised he still does it manually!

Absolutely, you won't get this stuff from a radiologist because they usually check on your growth when you're really young to make sure you don't have deficiencies, but in the context of looksmaxing this sort of information can help (not be the reason) teenagers blast growth hormones for years

yup, reasonable aswell

Good thread

thank you & thanks for the insight!

Unfortunately I can't edit the post now, but its really unlikely that your femur & tibia plates are fused and your knees aren't, so I'd still use your knee xray over most things

do you want me to go fetch a few pics and explain both femur & tibia plates to you though?

Do u have data on age of closure for those plates, thats more what im looking for
