LOINC description : The latest Tanner and Whitehouse Method, sometimes referred to as TW2, involves the
interpretation of a radiograph of the left hand and wrist by a trained radiologist.
The procedure includes the assessment of regions of interest (ROI) on 20 bones. The
ROI include the epiphysis, metaphysis and diaphysis of each bone. The radiologist
gives each ROI a numerical score and records the result. The numerical score of each
ROI is summed to produce a total score.;
