Health Canada licenses Physis, 16 Bit's bone age software
Ottawa. Health Canada issued medical device licence 107934 for Physis, a Class II software device that estimates skeletal age from pediatric hand radiographs and points the reader to the closest Greulich and Pyle standard.
Physis grew out of the algorithm that won the 2017 RSNA machine learning challenge. It acts as a smart atlas: it estimates bone age, opens the atlas at the matching standard, and lets the physician step to younger and older standards and apply their own judgment. It can include a licensed digital copy of the Greulich and Pyle atlas and a customizable report.
