Knee Joint
Brief summary
This retrospective observational study aims to investigate imaging features of the knee joint on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) using artificial intelligence (AI)-based image analysis. Existing knee MRI examinations from eligible participants are retrospectively reviewed and analyzed. AI methods are used to identify and characterize anatomical structures and imaging abnormalities of the knee and to quantitatively evaluate relevant imaging features. The study aims to assess the feasibility and performance of AI-assisted MRI analysis and to explore its potential value in improving the objective and reproducible evaluation of knee joint imaging.
Detailed description
This is a retrospective observational study based on previously acquired knee magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) data. Participants who underwent knee MRI examinations and met the predefined eligibility criteria are retrospectively included. MRI images are analyzed using artificial intelligence-based image processing and analysis methods. The study focuses on the identification, segmentation, characterization, and quantitative assessment of knee joint structures and imaging abnormalities. Where applicable, AI-generated results are compared with reference assessments to evaluate model performance and the consistency of imaging measurements. The study is intended to investigate the imaging characteristics of the knee joint, evaluate the performance and robustness of artificial intelligence-based MRI analysis methods, and explore their potential application in quantitative imaging assessment and computer-assisted evaluation of knee disorders.

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Dice Similarity Coefficient for AI-Based Knee MRI Segmentation | At completion of retrospective MRI image analysis | The Dice similarity coefficient will be used to evaluate the spatial agreement between artificial intelligence-generated segmentations and reference annotations. The Dice coefficient ranges from 0 to 1, with higher values indicating greater agreement. |
