Why Sunlight Bonage? |
|
Bone Age assessment is increasing in importance as a key
component in monitoring the effects on child and youth growth and
development through their Physical activity. Easy to operate, no x ray
provides an accurate objective assessment |
|
Monitor Growth and development |
|
Organised sports activities for children are invaluable in
developing Elite athletic potential (whatever the chosen sport or
activity). In meeting both the social and physical needs, such activities
may present certain dangers alongside the opportunities they offer for
development of the child and youth. |

Why Regular Bone Age Testing? |
|
Regular Bone Age Testing will help in
ensuring that
Can be chosen and selected with knowledge of
the individual athletes level of development! |

|
Bone age provides Sports physicians and
Sports scientists with information to
-
Assess development and growth
-
Predict Adult Height
-
Recommend the right sport/position based on
individual parameters to fit abilities against predicted adult height
-
Bone age can be used to determine decisions
related to sports injuries
-
Determine effects on growth of particular
sports (e.g. gymnastics)

How does it work? |
|
BonAge is Radiation-free, accurate, and objective providing on-the-spot results
using quantitative ultrasound to measure the ossifying cartilage structures
of the wrist to provide data highly correlated to the widely accepted Greulich and Pyle method.
The unique technology
utilized by BonAge measures the velocity of an ultrasound wave transmitted
through the wrist, using a proprietary algorithm and gender- and
ethnicity-based reference curves to produce a skeletal age result in
years and months. Results, which are produced automatically by the
device without the need for interpretation by a physician, |
| |
An optional bone strength assessment package can be
integrated with Bon Age providing an unbeatable development and growth
tracking combinate
The device is
CE approved. |
|
Sunlight BonAge is designed to
track the growth and development of the 5-18 year old as well as to
measure his bone age. For this purpose, the input of various
growth information data in the fields of the patient information form.
The growth information input is displayed on-screen
and in measurement reports, and percentile data is calculated according to
gender- and ethnic-based reference curves
in order to facilitate tracking of growth and development. |
Information about a number of
growth parameters inputted by the physician is provided in graphical format
on-screen and in measurement reports. This example shows the patient's
weight and age, superimposed on a series of curves that show normal values
for weight at different ages, at different percentile ranks.
