The epiphyses are used to determine height growth in adolescents and require an X-ray of the cartilage between the epiphyses and the metaphysis.
In adolescents, the epiphysis is in the form of cartilage at the metaphysis, and when an X-ray is taken, it presents an image with a high degree of translucency, and the height of the area of translucency is used to determine the likelihood of height growth.
If this range is large, then there is more room for growth, and if this range is small, then the room for growth is more limited.
When adolescents need to determine the space for height growth, they need to go to the hospital in time, and under the guidance of the doctor, have an X-ray examination to observe the epiphysis in order to determine the space for growth and development.
