Can a 4-year-old child have their bone age checked?

Patient's question:

No

Doctor's answer:

In addition to bone age, further screening for other growth-related pathological conditions is needed. It is necessary to systematically rule out each possibility to identify the cause of the child's growth disorder. Early targeted intervention and treatment should then be provided. It is recommended to visit the pediatric endocrinology department or the growth and development specialty department in the hospital as soon as possible.
