Aarthi Scans & Labs, India’s leading integrated diagnostics chain, has launched BoneXpert a CE-approved AI-powered bone age assessment solution across all its 100 centres nationwide. This automated tool analyzes a single left-hand X-ray to deliver consistent, multi-method results, aiding early detection of growth disorders and endocrine conditions while reducing variability in manual assessments.
Glimpse:
BoneXpert provides reproducible bone age evaluations using methods like Greulich-Pyle (GP), Tanner-Whitehouse (TW2/TW3), carpal bone age, Bone Age SDS, and Bone Health Index (BHI). It supports paediatricians, endocrinologists, and orthopaedicians with faster, precise reports enhancing clinical reliability for growth/pubertal disorders and long-term monitoring. The nationwide rollout underscores Aarthi’s commitment to advanced, accessible diagnostics.
Aarthi Scans & Labs has taken a significant stride in paediatric and endocrine diagnostics by deploying BoneXpert, a globally validated AI-based bone age assessment platform, across its entire network of 100 centres in India. This rollout introduces automated, high-precision analysis to routine clinical practice, addressing variability in traditional manual methods.
Bone age assessment is vital for evaluating growth disorders, pubertal issues, endocrine abnormalities, and skeletal health monitoring. Conventionally reliant on radiologist interpretation, it often suffers from inter- and intra-observer differences. BoneXpert, developed by a European AI med-tech firm and CE-approved, eliminates this by automating evaluation from a single left-hand X-ray.
The AI delivers comprehensive outputs:
Multiple validated methods: Greulich-Pyle (GP), Tanner-Whitehouse (TW2/TW3), carpal bone age.
Advanced metrics: Bone Age SDS (standard deviation score) and Bone Health Index (BHI) for density insights.
This ensures consistent, reproducible results aligned with international standards crucial for early detection of constitutional growth delays or endocrine issues.
Dr. Arunkumar Govindarajan, Director and Radiologist at Aarthi Scans & Labs, emphasized: “Bone age assessment plays a crucial role in evaluating growth disorders and endocrine conditions. Implementing BoneXpert across our network allows us to deliver consistent, clinically actionable reports using internationally accepted standards, supporting treatment monitoring for both clinicians and patients.”
With faster turnaround times and unwavering precision, BoneXpert empowers specialists paediatricians, endocrinologists, orthopaedicians in timely decision-making. Aarthi Scans & Labs, known for affordable, high-volume diagnostics, now offers this advanced tool nationwide, enhancing care accessibility.
