Figure 1 3D U-shape cuboidal filter and automatic VOI selection for knee MRI. (a) is the proposed 3D U-shape cuboidal filter, in which the white area is filled by 1 and the gray area is filled by -1. (b) is the result of automatic VOI selection overlapped with original image for femur.

Figure3 Comparison between (a) Cartilage map From MEMVA and (b) gross image of femur articular cartilage. Osteoarthritis and Cartilage 2016 24, S382-S383DOI: (10.1016/j.joca.2016.01.685) Copyright © 2016 Terms and Conditions
Figure 4 Thickness error comparison between the real and each of r2, r3 and r4. “R” means real cartilage thickness, “r2”, “r3” and “r4” means calculated local mean cartilage thickness with 2x2, 3x3 and 4x4 respectively. The x-axis is the total index point; the y-axis is the error thickness in millimeter.
