X-ray term - egs
Posted: Jun 16, 2011
Note about child being seen in scoliosis clinic. Doctor says child is not fully grown, says: This is a nice 11-year-old girl who looks like she is in the middle of her growth spurt. She is premenarchal. She is starting to sprout up and she does not quite have _____ on her hand x-ray.
All of us QA people and the MT hear "camping" - but can't find this anywhere. Has anybody heard of this? Thanks!!
closing instead of camping?? - sm
[ In Reply To ..]As a child grows the epiphyses become calcified and appear on the x-rays, as do the carpal and tarsal bones of the hands and feet, separated on the x-rays by a layer of invisible cartilage where most of the growth is occurring. As sex steroid levels rise during puberty, bone maturation accelerates. As growth nears conclusion and attainment of adult height, bones begin to approach the size and shape of adult bones. The remaining cartilaginous portions of the epiphyses become thinner. As these cartilaginous zones become obliterated, the epiphyses are said to be "closed" and no further lengthening of the bones will occur. A small amount of spinal growth concludes an adolescent's growth.

[ In Reply To ..]I thought of that, but it was very clear with the "p" sound of "camping' -- three of us listened and all heard the same thing. I know what you are saying, yes, but this was clear as a bell. Drives me crazy when they do this. Hopefully we will get some answer from them. Thanks for your resonse!
