Sunlight Bonage
Skeletal Age Assessment
for Children.
BonAge is the ideal tool for skeletal age evaluation for children
and adolescents with growth abnormalities. Radiation-free, accurate,
and objective, BonAge is designed to provide on-the-spot results
based on the widely accepted Greulich and Pyle method.
A Window on Skeletal Development
BonAge assesses skeletal age, sometimes known as bone age, by
measuring the ossifying cartilage structures of the wrist, which
provide an excellent window on the development of the skeleton. 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, are highly correlated with
conventional readings using the Greulich and Pyle method. |

Added Value
The device also incorporates additional features related to
development, including a growth module that includes gender- and
ethnicity-based growth follow-up, and adult height prediction. An
optional bone strength assessment package is offered to provide a
complete pediatric evaluation tool for convenience and ease of use
for the physician.
