For radiologists, endocrinologists, pediatricians, and forensic physicians seeking a reference on skeletal maturation. Please review the source-description clarification below before purchasing, particularly if you are looking for the Gilsanz and Ratib digital atlas or information about the Bone Age app.
The supplied description contains a title and edition mismatch. It discusses the Gilsanz and Ratib digital atlas and a revised second edition, while this product’s details identify a first-edition title by the authors listed above. The following information is retained from that description but should not be treated as confirmed content or functionality of this product.
The supplied text explains that bone-maturity determination historically relied on visual evaluation of skeletal development in the hand and wrist, most commonly using the Greulich and Pyle atlas. It describes the Gilsanz and Ratib digital atlas as using digital imaging for a more effective and objective assessment of skeletal maturity, integrating key morphological features of ossification in hand and wrist bones and providing idealized, sex- and age-specific images of skeletal development.
It also states that the revised second edition adds a description and user manual for Bone Age for iPad®, iPhone® and iPod touch®, available to purchase and use separately from the book. According to that text, the app can calculate the deviation of a patient’s age from the normal range and predict a possible growth delay. The supplied description characterizes that atlas and its related app as easy to use and valuable for radiologists, endocrinologists, and pediatricians, with relevance to forensic physicians.
