Study: AI-based cartilage imaging predicts knee replacement
Fully automated, AI-based cartilage segmentation with MRI identified knees requiring replacement with the same degree of success as manual human analysis, according to published results.
“For cartilage morphometry to become a scalable and useful endpoint in clinical trials of
disease-modifying (structure-modifying) interventions, image analysis should ideally be
performed automatically and objectively, without human intervention,” Felix Eckstein, MD, from the center for anatomy and cell biology at Paracelsus Medical University in Salzburg, Austria, and colleagues wrote in Arthritis
