93189-9
ClinicalXR Wrist and Hand Total skeletal maturity score
Definition
The total skeletal maturity score as determined by various bone age assessment methods, such as Tanner-Whitehouse (TW2), using x-ray. The total maturity score is used to compute the bone age (e.g. in years, months)[LOINC: 85151-9]. To report which method was used to determine bone age, use the Bone age method term [LOINC: 85150-1]. For mapping to an X-ray procedure for determining bone age, see the Views bone age XR terms (e.g. [LOINC: 24724-7]).
