Bone age X-ray (children up to 18 years old)

The imaging test is used to evaluate the child’s biological age, i.e. how advanced its development is, and to detect growth disorders and signs of puberty. 

It is non-invasive, and takes from a few to several minutes depending on the age of the child. The X-ray of the non-dominant hand and wrist is taken.

• patient’s data (first name and surname, date of birth, sex, PESEL number, address and place of residence),
• if the patient is a minor, completely incapacitated or unable to give informed consent: first name(s) and surname of the patient’s legal representative and his/her address of residence,
• purpose of and reason for the X-ray,
• preliminary clinical diagnosis justifying the radiological procedure,
• signature and stamp of the person referring the patient for the X-ray or procedure.

The patient can receive a CD with an X-ray image if they request it before the appointment. The examination report is available on Medicover Online. The patient can also collect the report in paper form at a selected Medical Center—this requires submitting a request at the reception. The report is usually provided within 3-6 business days; however, in cases of a high number of images requiring description, delays in delivering the results may occur.
