The Greulich-Pyle (GP) and Tanner-Whitehouse 3 (TW3) methods are two common methods for assessing bone age (BA). The applicability of these methods for populations other than those in the United States and Europe has been questioned. Thus, this study tested the applicability of these methods for Taiwanese children. ⋯ The GP and TW3-RUS methods exhibit strong agreement in the pubertal and postpubertal stages for both sexes. With appropriate adjustments based on Taiwanese data, both methods are applicable to our children.
