[Cartilage/chondrocyte research and osteoarthritis. Quantitative assessment of knee cartilage on magnetic resonance imaging.]

Hiroyuki Oka

Abstract

Software-based image analysis is important for studies of cartilage changes in knee osteoarthritis(OA). We developed a semi-automated software to quantify knee cartilage volume on high-resolution knee magnetic resonance(MR)images. In this article, we refer to the points of MRI imaging for cartilage quantitative assessment and our developed software. This software has already been used in clinical studies.
