Bone Age (Endocrinology)
The stage of development or maturity of the bones. In most children, bone age will be about the same as chronological (actual) age, but in some children it may be advanced (ahead) or delayed (behind). It is measured by taking an X-ray, usually of the hand and wrist, to look at the bones and compare them with standards for boys and girls of various ages.
