The need to assess the carpal bones when a skeletal age is being obtained for a handwrist radiograph has been determined. The mixed longitudinal data that were analyzed had been obtained from 335 boys and 322 girls at 1, 4, 7, 10, 13, and 16 years of age. The FELS assessment method, which was used to obtain the skeletal ages, provides the standard error of each assessment; each of these standard errors is determined by the amount of relevant information available from a radiograph. Utilizing the standard errors for paired assessments made with and without the inclusion of the carpal bones, it was concluded that the carpal bones should be assessed from 7 to 13 years in boys and from 4 to 10 years in girls, but they need not be assessed before or after these age ranges.
已确定在获取手腕部X光片的骨骼年龄时，有必要对手腕骨进行评估。所分析的混合纵向数据来自335名男孩和322名女孩，年龄分别为1岁、4岁、7岁、10岁、13岁和16岁。用于获取骨骼年龄的FELS评估方法提供了每次评估的标准误差；这些标准误差中的每一个都由X光片中可用的相关信息量决定。利用包含和不包含腕骨时进行配对评估的标准误差，得出结论：男孩应在7至13岁时评估腕骨，女孩应在4至10岁时评估腕骨，但在这些年龄范围之前或之后无需评估。
