Figure 1. Top row: The average chondron volumes grouped by the OARSI histological grades (0–1.0 & 3.0–3.5) in three AC zones (0–10%, 10–40%, 40–100% from the AC surface). All the well segmented chondrons, chondrons containing a single cell, and chondrons containing a cluster were studied separately. *: p value 0.01 to 0.05, **: p value 0.001 to 0.01. Bottom row: Left; A–D: Example images of three orthogonal views from the manual segmentation verification. A = a well segmented cluster, B = a poorly segmented cluster, C = a well segmented single cell, D = a poorly segmented single cell. Right; 3D models of the segmented chondrons from representative OARSI 0 and OARSI 3 samples.
