Diagnosis of Osteoarthritis by Cartilage Surface Smoothness Quantified Automatically from Knee MRI
OBJECTIVE We investigated whether surface smoothness of articular cartilage in the medial tibiofemoral compartment quantified from magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) could be appropriate as a diagnostic marker of osteoarthritis (OA). METHOD At baseline, 159 community-based subjects aged 21 to 81 with normal or OA-affected knees were recruited to provide a broad range of OA states. Smoothness wa...
متن کاملMri Evaluation of Knee Cartilage
Through the ability of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) to characterize soft tissue noninvasively, it has become an excellent method for evaluating cartilage. The development of new and faster methods allowed increased resolution and contrast in evaluating chondral structure, with greater diagnostic accuracy. In addition, physiological techniques for cartilage assessment that can detect early c...
متن کاملQuantitative Cartilage Imaging in Knee Osteoarthritis
Quantitative measures of cartilage morphology (i.e., thickness) represent potentially powerful surrogate endpoints in osteoarthritis (OA). These can be used to identify risk factors of structural disease progression and can facilitate the clinical efficacy testing of structure modifying drugs in OA. This paper focuses on quantitative imaging of articular cartilage morphology in the knee, and wi...
متن کاملOn Subregional Analysis of Cartilage Loss from Knee MRI
OBJECTIVE Understanding how knee cartilage is affected by osteoarthritis (OA) is critical in the development of sensitive biomarkers that may be used as surrogate endpoints in clinical trials. The objective of this study was to analyze longitudinal changes in cartilage thickness using detailed change maps and to examine if current methods for subregional analysis are able to capture the underly...
متن کاملMeasurement of Cartilage Thickness in Osteoarthritis and Visualization of Meniscus Tear of Knee MRI Image Processing
Abstract— Knee joint is very complex and delicate joint in human body structure. Due to weight load, stress, knees can be injured and damaged and Osteoarthritis (OA) is one of the common diseases of knee injury. It is a degenerative joint disease in which cartilage slowly degrades. Another problem of knee is meniscus tear. Meniscus act as a weight distributer on joint surfaces and gives stabili...
