摘要: A method and an apparatus for estimating bone age by at least one acoustic signal in ossification-actuated skeletal structure. The includes transmitter receiver positioned facing each other so that the structure is between them. has two bones. adapted transmitting a to cross transversely. An electronic moveable gantry provided adjusting position of relation computer system enabled perform or more functions gantry; transmit transmitter; control transmitted receive receiver; estimate responsive received calculation formula.
