Abstract

Early detection of structural differences associated with the osteoarthritis (OA) of the knee is crucial for enabling effective clinical trials for testing potential early interventional disease modifying drugs. Highly localized quantification methods are needed for assessing differences between patient populations. In this paper we present a fully automated method to quantify femoral bone shape differences between subjects having progressive and non-progressive osteoarthritis (OA) from MRI scans of the knee. The bone is identified using a fully automated approach based on the layered optimal graph image segmentation of multiple objects and surfaces (LOGISMOS). Statistical shape analysis is performed using the spherical harmonics based point distribution model (SPHARM-PDM). Data from the Osteoarthritis Initiative (OAI) for subjects with a Kellgren Lawrence (KL) grade of 2 at baseline were used in the study. Shape differences between the progressor and non-progressor subject groups were compared at baseline, 1-year and 2-year followups. 576 MRI scans in total were analyzed. We found significant differences (p < 0.05) in the bone shape between the progressor versus non-progressor populations at the 1-year and 2-year follow up visits, with the most pronounced shape differences observed around the trochlear groove region.
