4. Figure 3: Scatter plots of Vessel Area Fraction (VAF) and Number of vessels per mm2 (NV/A) against Tidemark roughness (TMR), Entropy of patterns (EP) and Amount of different patterns (ADP). Colors indicate different OARSI grade groups. Positive trend is observed between vessel perforation and parameters that define roughness (TMR) and local orientation variances (ADP, EP) of the tidemark. ADP is the amount of different patterns per average surface area evaluated.
