Long bones of the body, such as the femur, have an epiphyseal cartilage, a plate of cartilage that separates the epiphysis from the diaphysis as long as the bone is still growing lengthwise. An x-ray would indicate whether the epiphyseal cartilage is still present. The clinicians check if the cartilage is still there and if it is, growth is still occurring; if it is not, the bone has reached its adult length.

Why does a man stop growing when he gets older?
Males typically cease growth in height when they reach about 21 years of age. This is because when this age is reached, all the cartilage of the epiphyseal plate in the bone is gone. Growth in body weight can change due to diet and lifestyle choices (e.g. exercise) but due to the cessation of growth, not much weight will be significantly gained to accomodate increases in height like it did before.
How do you know you've reached your final height?
You have likely reached your final height once you have gone through puberty and your growth plates have fused. This usually occurs around the ages of 16-18 for girls and 18-21 for boys. Your doctor can also assess your growth and development to determine if you have reached your final height.
How could x-rays of the femur be used to determine whether a person had reached full height?
once you are done growing, your epiphyseal plates (growth plates) which are cartilage, become ossified and turn to bone. If you still have the cartilage, you are not done growing. If it is all bone, you are.
