Micro-ossification. (A) Plain radiography performed on a 12-year-old boy did not reveal excursion of the apophysis and was graded as Risser stage 0. (B) A 3D-CT image of the same patient revealed micro-ossification of the iliac apophysis and was graded as Risser stage 1. The lower resolution and sensitivity of PR failed to show isolated non-linear ossification.
