Pediatric Radiology has published a paper on validation of adult height prediction (AHP) in the Paris longitudinal study of children born 1953-58.
The BoneXpert adult height predictor, based on the 2009 JCEM article, has been extended, so that it now plots the entire predicted growth path in a growth chart. It also predicts the age of peak height velocity.
Thirty-two hospitals have now purchased a license to BoneXpert, a doubling since November 2012.
ACTA Radiology’s November 2013 issue is devoted to invited articles on pediatric radiology and features a review entitled “Bone age assessment: automated techniques coming of age?”.
