What is Digital X-Ray of Wrist Joints to Assess Bone Age?

A Digital X-Ray of the Wrist Joints to Assess Bone Age is a diagnostic procedure used to evaluate the maturity of a child’s or adolescent’s bones. By examining the growth plates (epiphyseal plates) in the wrist, the X-ray helps determine the biological age of the bones compared to the chronological age.

This can provide insights into growth disorders or puberty-related issues. The patient typically holds the wrist in a neutral position, and the X-ray beam captures detailed images of the bones and joints.

The procedure is quick, non-invasive, and involves minimal radiation. A radiologist interprets the results to assess bone development.

What to expect & how to prepare

An X-ray takes a picture of bones or chest structures in a few seconds. A radiographer positions you, asks you to hold still and briefly hold your breath for chest views. Nothing is injected.

• Eat and drink normally: a plain X-ray needs no diet restriction before your appointment.
• Metal: remove jewellery, coins, belts and clothing with zips or hooks over the area, or change into a gown as advised.
• Positioning: you may be asked to stand, sit or lie in a specific position — for weight-bearing views you will stand on the affected limb.
• Bring earlier films: previous X-rays of the same area help with comparison.

A plain X-ray uses a small dose of ionising radiation. Tell the radiographer before the exposure if you are pregnant or think you might be.

Taken by a radiographer and reported by a radiologist; bring the doctor's advice that requested it.
