Aging from radiographs

[Gibbs, S Julian]

I agree with Allan Farman's opinion.  As I mentioned in my
posting that prompted all this, administrative use of
radiation is usually frowned upon, but I believe the INS
may be justified in this case.  Certainly no one of us has
come up with a better method of judging age.
I do think we should comment on the slow image receptor and
lack of beam collimation used by our colleague in New York.
Alan Lurie probably had the best suggestion: the EC or an
appropriate committee of AAOMR should respond.
