Text-Atlas of Skeletal Age Determination MRI of the Hand and Wrist in Children

Аннотация

In this text-atlas, the editors and collaborators describe their early and ground-breaking work into the use of MRI to evaluate bone, bone marrow, and cartilage, to assess MR skeletal age both in normal subjects and in individuals with disease. The chapters that illustrate normal bone age present strategies comparable to both traditional Greulich and Pyle and Tanner and Whitehouse approaches, but with far greater information, due to the capacity of MRI to reveal the appearance of all the developing musculoskeletal tissues.
