Free Software Development. 4. Client-Server Implementation of Bone Age Assessment Calculations
Journal Title: Leonardo Electronic Journal of Practices and Technologies - Year 2003, Vol 2, Issue 2
Abstract
In pediatrics, bone age also called skeletal maturity, an expression of biological maturity of a child, is an important quantitative measure for the clinical diagnosis of endocrinological problems and growth disorders. The present paper discusses a Java script implementation of Tanner-Whitehouse Method on computer, with complete graphical interface that include pictures and explanations for every bone. The program allows to select a stage (from a set of 7 or 8 stages) for every bone (from a set of 20 bones), and also allow user to input some specific data such as natural age, sex, place of residence. Based on TW2 reported values, selected and input data, the program compute the bone age. Java script functions and objects were used in order to make an efficient and adaptive program. Note that in classic way, the program implementation it requires more than 160 groups of instructions only for user interface design. Using of dynamic creation of page, the program became smaller and efficient. The program was tested and put on a web server to serve for directly testing via http service and from where can also be download and runes from a personal computer without internet connection: http://vl.academicdirect.ro/medical_informatics/bone_age/v1.0/
