Automatic MRI Bone Segmentation
Automatically segmenting bone tissue in MRI scans requires robustness against poor signal-to-noise ratios, highly inconsistent lighting conditions, and variability within bone tissues. Because of these difficulties, very little literature exists on automatic MRI bone segmentation. Current state-of-the-art methods are either semi-automatic or rely on databases of prior manual segmentations. Here...
متن کاملMRI cartilage of the knee: segmentation, analysis, and visualization
J. Carballido-Gamio, K. Lee, E. Ozhinsky, S. Majumdar University of California, San Francisco, San Francisco, California, United States Introduction. A common manifestation of osteoarthritis (OA) of the knee is the morphological degeneration of articular cartilage. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) offers the potential to visualize and analyze quantitatively those changes in vivo. The common pro...
متن کاملAutomatic bone segmentation and alignment from MR knee images
Automatic image analysis of magnetic resonance (MR) images of the knee is simplified by bringing the knee into a reference position. While the knee is typically put into a reference position during image acquisition, this alignment will generally not be perfect. To correct for imperfections, we propose a two-step process of bone segmentation followed by elastic tissue deformation. The approach ...
متن کاملKnee Cartilage Extraction and Bone-Cartilage Interface Analysis from 3D MRI Data Sets
This works presents a robust methodology for the analysis of the knee joint cartilage and the knee bone-cartilage interface from fused MRI sets. The proposed approach starts by fusing a set of two 3D MR images the knee. Although the proposed method is not pulse sequence dependent, the first sequence should be programmed to achieve good contrast between bone and cartilage. The recommended second...
متن کاملSemi-automatic Segmentation of the Patellar Cartilage in MRI
We introduce a software system for semi-automatic segmentation of the patellar cartilage. By providing tools for sub-pixel accurate edge tracing, automatic contour completion, and adequate visualization we achieve a remarkable speed-up of the physician’s segmentation process. Our results show the exactness that can be reached for cartilage segmentation if expertise and automation are merged in ...
