    Bone age assessment (BAA) is vital for diagnosing growth-related diseases in children and guiding clinical decisions.

  • 2

    The study analyzed 5551 left-hand X-ray images from children aged 3 to 18 years to develop simplified BAA methods.

  • 3

    A simplified 3-bone model (radius, ulna, metacarpal I) demonstrated high accuracy with R² > 0.94 and root mean square error < 0.5 years.

  • 4

    Inconsistent bone grades necessitate regression models for accurate BAA, while consistent grades allow for quicker assessments.

  • 5

    Further validation of the simplified BAA models is needed to ensure robustness across diverse populations and clinical scenarios.
