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.

Bone X rays are sometimes used to determine whether a person had reached his or her final height?

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.
