Abstract

BACKGROUND: Bone age (BA) and sexual maturity rating (SMR) are crucial measures in assessing adolescent growth and development. However, studies specifically focusing on the association between BA and SMR in the Taiwanese adolescent population are limited. This study aims to utilize AI-assessed BA results to establish a relationship between BA and SMR in the Taiwanese adolescent population, particularly regarding the initiation of puberty.
