Automated measurement of radiographic hip joint‐space width
Abstract
Radiographic joint-space narrowing (JSN) is the principle indicator of cartilage loss in osteoarthritis (OA). JSN is usually assessed qualitatively by visual inspection or in clinical research, is measured manually with a graduated handheld lens directly applied to the x-ray film, or from digitized radiographs by hand tracing the joint margins with a mouse. The minimum joint-space width (mJSW) and joint-space area (JSA) are recorded as the …
