Title: Bone and joint modeling from 3D knee MRI: feasibility and comparison with radiographs and 2D MRI
Abstract: Purpose The purpose was to evaluate feasibility of bone and joint segmentations from three-dimensional magnetic resonance imaging (3D MRI). Methods Segmented joint models from 3D MRI data set were obtained for 42 patients. Blinded angular and joint space measurements were performed on 3D MRI model, two-dimensional (2D) MRI, and radiography (XR). Results Medial joint space was similar on both XR and 3D MRI (P=.3). The XR measurements were statistically different but closer to 3D MRI for lateral patellar tilt angle, patellar tendon length, and lateral knee joint space, whereas 2D MRI measurements were closer to XR in terms of trochlear depth, sulcal angle, and patellar length. Conclusion 3D bone and joint segmentations are feasible from isotropic MRI data sets.
