PURPOSE: To evaluate the accuracy of articular cartilage thickness measurement when
implementing a new technology based on spectroscopic measurement into an arthroscopic …

Objectives The aim of this study was to develop an optical system to measure damaged
cartilage thickness in-vivo and real time using an optical fiber probe and conducting ex-vivo …

A radiographic and image analysis method was developed and applied in porcine knees for
the measurement of articular cartilage thickness in articulated joints. The feasibility of the …

Joint cartilage thickness has been estimated using spatially resolved steady-state
reflectance spectroscopy noninvasively and in-real time. The system consists of a miniature …

We present a method to measure cartilage thickness from CT images in the sub millimeter
range. Current methods based on zero crossings of second derivatives across the cartilage …

BACKGROUND: Characteristic changes in cartilage of human knee joints with different
degrees of osteoarthritis (OA) have been investigated by visual, biophotonical and …

Purpose Develop a spectroscopic method to assess cartilage thickness during the
arthroscopic examination. Methods Currently, arthroscopy assesses cartilage damage …

Measurements of cartilage defect size under an arthroscope are essential for prognosis and
treatment decisions. A new method called arthroscopic measurement by computer graphics …

We have previously described a technology based on diffuse reflectance of broadband light
for measuring joint articular cartilage thickness, utilizing that optical absorption is different in …
