Learning-Based Cost Functions for 3D and 4D Multi-Surface Multi-Object Segmentation of Knee MRI: Data from the Osteoarthritis Initiative [PDF]

open access: yesPublished in: IEEE Transactions on Medical Imaging ( Volume: 37 , Issue: 5 , May 2018 ), 2019
A fully automated knee MRI segmentation method to study osteoarthritis (OA) was developed using a novel hierarchical set of random forests (RF) classifiers to learn the appearance of cartilage regions and their boundaries. A neighborhood approximation forest is used first to provide contextual feature to the second-level RF classifier that also ...

Multi-classifier prediction of knee osteoarthritis progression from incomplete imbalanced longitudinal data [PDF]

open access: yesScientific Reports, 10(1), 2020, 2019
Conventional inclusion criteria used in osteoarthritis clinical trials are not very effective in selecting patients who would benefit from a therapy being tested. Typically majority of selected patients show no or limited disease progression during a trial period.

Osteoarthritis [PDF]

open access: yesPostgraduate Medical Journal, 2003
Abstract Osteoarthritis is a chronic degenerative disorder characterised by cartilage loss. It is extremely prevalent in society and is a major cause of disability. It is important to treat osteoarthritis effectively using a multidisciplinary approach tailored to the patient’s needs.

Playing sport injured is associated with osteoarthritis, joint pain and worse health-related quality of life: a cross-sectional study

open access: yesBMC Musculoskeletal Disorders, 2020
Background Sports participants are faced with the decision to continue or cease play when injured. The implications of playing sport while injured on joint health and health-related quality of life (HRQoL) has not been investigated.

The Corpus Adiposum Infrapatellare (Hoffa’s Fat Pad)—The Role of the Infrapatellar Fat Pad in Osteoarthritis Pathogenesis

open access: yesBiomedicines, 2022
In recent years, the infrapatellar fat pad (IFP) has gained increasing research interest. The contribution of the IFP to the development and progression of knee osteoarthritis (OA) through extensive interactions with the synovium, articular cartilage ...

Mild acetabular dysplasia and risk of osteoarthritis of the hip : a case-control study [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
Objective To determine whether mild variation in acetabular depth (AD) and shape is a risk factor for osteoarthritis (OA) of the hip. Methods The unaffected contralateral hip of patients with unilateral hip OA was compared with hips of asymptomatic ...

CT-based Subchondral Bone Microstructural Analysis in Knee Osteoarthritis via MR-Guided Distillation Learning [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv, 2023
Background: MR-based subchondral bone effectively predicts knee osteoarthritis. However, its clinical application is limited by the cost and time of MR. Purpose: We aim to develop a novel distillation-learning-based method named SRRD for subchondral bone microstructural analysis using easily-acquired CT images, which leverages paired MR images to ...
