Overview

PANDA provides an automated method to estimate bone age according to Greulich & Pyle in a standardized form to facilitate the monitoring of child growth and development.

PANDA
MSK-icon-150x150
Spine-icon-2-150x150
CE-icon-150x150

Features

PANDA is used on hand radiographs of children aged between 36 months and 192 months (girls) or 204 months (boys).

Radiological findings, measurements, and results including:

  • Pediatric bone age according to Greulich & Pyleu
  • Delayed / advanced bone age patient status
  • Height estimation according to Bayley & Pinneaum
  • Growth potential achieved

Benefits

  • Provides accurate automated bone age estimation: PANDA showed agreement with expert readers in BA assessment on a multiple-site cohort of U.S. children and adolescents, suggesting AI integration into the radiology workflow is possible and could lead to more efficient BA reading.¹
  • Demonstrates robust performance even in non strict p.a (oblique) projections of the hand and wrist.²
