Model-based Auto-Segmentation of Knee Bones and Cartilage in MRI Data

چکیده
We present a method for fully automatic segmentation of the bones and cartilages of the human knee from MRI data. Based on statistical shape models and graph-based optimization, first the femoral and tibial bone surfaces are reconstructed. Starting from the bone surfaces the cartilages are segmented simultaneously with a multi object technique using prior knowledge on the variation of cartilage thickness. We validate our method on 40 clinical MRI datasets acquired before knee

Automatic segmentation of high- and low-field knee MRIs using knee image quantification with data from the osteoarthritis initiative.
Clinical studies including thousands of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans offer potential for pathogenesis research in osteoarthritis. However, comprehensive quantification of all bone, cartilage, and meniscus compartments is challenging. We propose a segmentation framework for fully automatic segmentation of knee MRI. The framework combines multiatlas rigid registration with voxel classif...
متن کاملImproving Robustness of Cartilage segmentation using IDEAL water and fat images
INTRODUCTION: Accurate and reliable quantification of cartilage volume in MRI is required for diagnosis of many degenerative and inflammatory diseases such as osteoarthritis or rheumatoid arthritis. Segmentation techniques are often challenged by the variation in the MRI data and anatomical shape of the cartilage. Many techniques were proposed based on region growing, active contours and model-...

متن کاملSemi-automated Knee Joint Segmentation from Magnetic Resonance Images based on a Subchondral Bone Approach
The aim of this paper is to present the development of a semi-automatic segmentation method for human knee cartilage and bones from magnetic resonance images (MRI). This segmentation process belongs to a higher aim that consists of a 3D simulation of knee joint to find how stresses are distributed in contact regions between cartilages and to quantify them as well as the contact region size. Ima...
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...
