Objective
The aim of this project is to develop a methodology for rapid segmentation of knee structures from magnetic resonance (MR) images for subject-specific modeling. The overall goal can be broken down into two specific objectives -
1. Rapid segmentation of target structures into label maps.
2. Generation of simulation-ready models from existing atlas and label maps of individual structures.
Approach, Plan
Approach:
Objective 1: We have adopted a multi-contrast MR methodology to segment knee bones and cartilage structures. The algorithm utilizes tissue intensity information from multiple MR contrasts to segment structures of interest. Inputs to the algorithm included n registered MR image sets. The algorithm created an n-dimensional space of voxel intensities associated with the n image sets. The user assigned seed points to the structures of interest, and the algorithm created a cluster center for each structure of interest. Cluster radii were calculated based on standard deviations obtained from seed points, and tissue structures were classified as label maps.

Plan:
a. Incorporate a method to refine label maps (remove undesired bridge connections).
b. Implement an algorithm to assign fiducial points to region boundaries for manual adjustments of geometries.
Progress
- Implemented algorithm to segment structures of interest from multi-constrast MR images.
- Generated label maps of knee and hip structures.
- Implemented a pipeline to rapidly refine label maps to isolate regions of interest.
- Identified an approach to trace geometry boundary and automatically assign fiducial points.
