Ai-can-detect-early-signs-of-osteoarthritis-from-an-x-ray-image

2022 22 Dec

A team of researchers from the university of Jyväskylä and the Central Finland Health Care District developed an AI based neural network, that can detect early knee osteoarthritis from x-ray images.   This new method offers the potential to improve early detection, saving the patient from unnecessary examinations and treatments.   Typically,...Read more

Radiography-as-complementary-imaging-tool-for-osteoarthritis-studies

2017 10 Oct

In a study of postmenopausal women with or without mild osteoarthritis, researchers investigated the relation between radiograph-based subchondral bone structure and cartilage composition assessed with delayed gadolinium enhanced magnetic resonance imaging of cartilage (dGEMRIC) and T2 relaxation time. The study findings support the presumption that...Read more

Weight loss can help to slow the degeneration of knee cartilage for obese people, according to a new MRI study presented at the annual meeting of the Radiological Society of North America (RSNA). Researchers say that substantial weight loss can also reduce the risk of developing osteoarthritis. Obesity is a major risk factor for osteoarthritis, a...Read more

According to researchers, a popular surgery to repair meniscal tears may raise the risk of osteoarthritis and cartilage loss in some patients. The findings, presented at the annual meeting of the Radiological Society of North America (RSNA), suggest that the decision for surgery requires careful consideration in order to prevent accelerated disease...Read more

2014 13 Jan

Diagnosing problems in the wrist has become easier thanks to a new technology as published online in the journal PLoS ONE. A team consisting of UC Davis radiologists, medical physicists and orthopaedic surgeons have devised an innovative method to create "movies" of the wrist in motion by using a series of brief magnetic resonance imaging scans....Read more
