In the medical field of children’s growth and development, bone age testing is a key tool for assessing children’s growth potential, diagnosing endocrine diseases, and predicting adult height. However, there are numerous bone age detection devices on the current market. How can pediatric hospitals select a product that is not only highly accurate and safe but also easy to operate?
Advanced imaging combined with multiple algorithms ensures precise detection
The accuracy of bone age detection is directly related to the reliability of clinical diagnosis. The Pinyuan X-ray bone age meter adopts CBCT conical beam imaging technology. This technology has prominent advantages, featuring fast imaging speed, the ability to quickly obtain images within a short period of time, and clear image quality. It provides doctors with high-definition epiphyseal images for accurately identifying bone age images.
At the same time, it is equipped with five bone age assessment algorithms, including the TW3 method and the Zhonghua-05 method. The TW3 method is a widely recognized international standard for bone age assessment, while the Zhonghua-05 method is an authoritative algorithm specifically formulated for the growth and development characteristics of Chinese children. By adopting multiple algorithm fusion technologies, the Pinyuan X-ray bone age meter effectively reduces the errors that may be caused by a single algorithm, making it suitable for bone age assessment of children of different races and regions.
Convenient software functions optimize the diagnosis and treatment process
The software and hardware of Pinyuan X-ray bone age meter are both independently developed, featuring rich and practical functions. It offers functions such as appointment booking, pending diagnosis, and film reading learning, facilitating hospital process management. The automatic interpretation system can automatically identify the development degree of the metacarpal epiphyses and generate two report modes: concise and detailed. The reports include multiple core indicators such as bone age, growth potential, and predicted height. Doctors can freely choose according to their actual needs, providing strong support for the rapid formulation of personalized intervention plans.
Multiple safety designs safeguard children’s health
In terms of safety, the Pin Yuan X-ray bone age instrument performs outstandingly. It adopts an ultra-low dose design, effectively protecting the examinees and operators from the harm of X-rays. Installing a 3.5mm MAL additional filter can effectively reduce the dose value of the X-ray incident surface. It adopts a fully enclosed X-ray protection method to effectively prevent X-ray leakage. It also adopts a lead-free room design, and the equipment does not need to be protected by a lead room, which not only saves space but also reduces costs. In addition, this device is specially designed for children and features pediatric clinical protocol functions, providing all-round protection for children’s health.
Which children need to have their bone age tested as early as possible?
Children with abnormal development
If a child is significantly short and their height is much lower than that of their peers; Or be significantly taller than children of the same age; Or if there is no significant increase in height for a long time and the growth rate is extremely slow, these all belong to abnormal development conditions. It is recommended to have a bone age test as soon as possible.
Children suspected of precocious puberty
For boys, if secondary sexual characteristics develop before the age of nine, such as an enlarged penis and testicles, followed by voice changes, a protruding Adam’s apple, beard growth, and the growth of pubic and armpit hair, it may be precocious puberty. Before the age of eight, a girl’s breasts start to develop, and subsequently pubic hair and armpit hair grow, which also falls within the category of precocious puberty. Precocious puberty can cause bone development to start prematurely, resulting in a significant shortening of the growth cycle. Therefore, children with this condition should also have their bone age tested as early as possible.
Children who are overly obese
Obese children may be taller than their peers in the short term, but excessive estrogen in their bodies may accelerate the rapid closure of the epiphyses, thereby affecting their final height. Therefore, it is also recommended that children who are overly obese have their bone age tested as early as possible so that timely intervention measures can be taken.
