Abstract

BACKGROUND: Artificial intelligence (AI)-based applications for the assessment of the paediatric musculoskeletal system like BoneXpert are not only useful to assess bone age (BA) but also to provide a bone health index (BHI) and a standard deviation score (SDS) for both. This allows comparison of the BHI with age- and sex-matched healthy Caucasian children.
