摘要：

Abstract: Micrometer measurements in the chest roentgenograms of 197 males and 168 females whose ages ranged from 10 to 80 years, showed that the relative cortical thickness of the clavicles decreased with advancing age. When the linear regression slopes of decrease for the clavicles, metacarpals and femur were compared, the steepest slope was for the clavicles, especially in females. The use of clavicular cortical thickness as a criterion might offer a practical method of assessing skeletal age from routine posterior-anterior chest x-ray films.
