Lateral cephalometric and left hand-wrist radiographs from the Bolton- Brush Growth Center at Case Western Reserve University were reviewed a posteriori to develop a cervical vertebrae maturation index (CVMI). B y using the lateral profiles of the second, third and fourth cervical vertebrae, it was possible to develop a reliable ranking of patients a ccording to the potential for future adolescent growth potential.
