Abstract

See full text

The present invention relates to systems, compositions, and methods for quantification of joint cartilage from magnetic resonance imaging. In particular, the present invention relates to the use of a universal coordinate to identify informative locations in joints that reflect cartilage loss throughout the joint, reduce the burden of measuring joint cartilage, and allow for the calculation of a more sensitive measure of cartilage loss than traditional cartilage segmentation methods.
