X - Ray Both Hands AP View (Bone Age) near me in Thanjavur

The X - Ray Both Hands AP View (Bone Age) test is done to check the growth and development of bones in children and teenagers. This test helps doctors understand if a child’s bones are developing at a normal rate for their age. It involves taking X-ray images of both hands and wrists from the front. The bone structures seen in the image are then compared with standard growth charts to estimate the child’s bone age. This test is commonly used to evaluate growth delays, early puberty, or other hormonal conditions. It is a non-invasive, simple, and painless procedure that uses very low doses of radiation. The results help doctors determine if additional tests or treatments are needed for proper growth and development.
