Segmenting Tibia and Femur from Knee X-ray Images
نویسندگان
چکیده
Automatic segmentation of bone contours in knee x-ray images is investigated as a step towards reliable, quantitative radiographic analysis of osteoarthritis for diagnosis and assessment of progression. A double contour active shape model is proposed in order to simultaneously segment anterior and posterior contours of the tibial plateaux. Several features are compared for modelling local appearance. Point-to-contour segmentation errors are reported for both femoral and tibial contours.

متن کاملSegmentation of Multiple Knee Bones from CT for Orthopedic Knee Surgery Planning
Patient-specific orthopedic knee surgery planning requires precisely segmenting from 3D CT images multiple knee bones, namely femur, tibia, fibula, and patella, around the knee joint with severe pathologies. In this work, we propose a fully automated, highly precise, and computationally efficient segmentation approach for multiple bones. First, each bone is initially segmented using a model-bas...
متن کاملSegmenting Multiple Objects with Overlapping Appearance and Uncertainty
A probabilistic method is proposed for segmentation of multiple objects that overlap or are in close proximity to one another. A likelihood function is formulated that explicitly models overlapping object appearance. Priors on global appearance and geometry (including shape) are learned from example images. Markov chain Monte Carlo methods are used to obtain samples from a posterior distributio...
متن کاملAnalysis of the Geometry of the Distal Femur and Proximal Tibia in the Osteoarthritic Knee: A 3D Reconstruction CT Scan Based Study of 449 Cases
Background: The aim of this study is to evaluate the geometry of the distal femur and the proximal tibia in the osteoarthritic knee using 3D reconstructive CT scan imaging. Methods: 449 patients with knee osteoarthritis were treated surgically in our center with patient-specific technology total knee arthroplasty. Preoperatively, all the patients underwent a CT scan according to a standard ...
متن کاملContour Extraction of Femur and Tibia Condyles on Plain Anteroposterior (AP) Radiograph
Condyle of femur (F) and tibia (T) are key bony landmarks around the knee joint. The condyles contour extraction is the first key step towards: quantification of femorotibial (FT) joint space width (JSW), to assess FT joint space narrowing (JSN), to determine knee joint alignment angles and in defining the lateral and medial condyle radii. This paper aims to contour extraction of femur and tibi...
