Abstract

Articular cartilage (AC) is a flexible and soft yet stiff tissue that can be visualized and interpreted using magnetic resonance (MR) imaging for the assessment of knee osteoarthritis. Segmentation of AC from MR images is a challenging task that has been investigated widely. The development of computational methods to segment AC is highly dependent on various image parameters, quality, tissue structure, and acquisition protocol involved. This review focuses on the challenges faced during AC segmentation from MR images followed by the discussion on computational methods for semi/fully automated approaches, whilst performances parameters and their significances have also been explored. Furthermore, hybrid approaches used to segment AC are reviewed. This review indicates that despite the challenges in AC segmentation, the semi-automated method utilizing advanced computational methods such as active contour and clustering have shown significant accuracy. Fully automated AC segmentation methods have obtained moderate accuracy and show suitability for extensive clinical studies whilst advanced methods are being investigated that have led to achieving significantly better sensitivity. In conclusion, this review indicates that research in AC segmentation from MR images is moving towards the development of fully automated methods using advanced multi-level, multi-data, and multi-approach techniques to provide assistance in clinical studies.

Automatic Segmentation of Articular Cartilage in Magnetic Resonance Images of the Knee
Medical Image Computing and Computer-Assisted Intervention – MICCAI 2007
Abstract
To perform cartilage quantitative analysis requires the accurate segmentation of each individual cartilage. In this paper we present a model based scheme that can automatically and accurately segment each individual cartilage in healthy knees from ...
Segmentation of Femoral Cartilage with a Hybrid Method Combining Voxel Classification and Active Appearance Models
ICBSP '18: Proceedings of the 2018 3rd International Conference on Biomedical Imaging, Signal Processing

In this paper a hybrid segmentation method was proposed for delineation of the femoral cartilage compartment in knee MR images. A formerly developed voxel classification-based segmentation system was combined with an active appearance model (AAM) based ...
A review of atlas-based segmentation for magnetic resonance brain images

Abstract: Normal and abnormal brains can be segmented by registering the target image with an atlas. Here, an atlas is defined as the combination of an intensity image (template) and its segmented image (the atlas labels). After registering the atlas ...
