What is the accuracy of a height calculator?

The 90% error range is from 1.8 to 8.3 cm, with error peaks at 6 and 14 years of age and greatest accuracy at age 8 years. Disregarding age, 58% of all height predictions were within 2.5 cm (1 in), 85% of all predictions were within 5 cm (2 in), and 96% of all predictions were within 7.5 cm (3 in) of adult height for boys.

How is the height of a child predicted by a radiograph?

This method compares the radiograph of the patient to that of the nearest standard radiograph in the Greulich-Pyle atlas, a compilation of bone age data. Based on bone age, the height of the child, and the data compiled in the atlas, it is possible to predict height based on the percentage of height growth remaining at a given bone age.
