Articular cartilage (AC) sheathes joint surfaces and minimizes friction in diarthrosis. The
resident cell population, chondrocytes, are surrounded by an extracellular matrix and a …

The in vivo pathomechanics of osteoarthritis (OA) at the knee is described in a framework
that is based on an analysis of studies describing assays of biomarkers, cartilage …

Objectives: To describe a semi-quantitative scoring method for multi-feature, whole-organ
evaluation of the knee in osteoarthritis (OA) based on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) …

The watershed transform has interesting properties that make it useful for many different
image segmentation applications: it is simple and intuitive, can be parallelized, and always …

▪ Abstract In this chapter, the recent advances in cartilage biomechanics and
electromechanics are reviewed and summarized. Our emphasis is on the new experimental …

Cartilage is a soft connective tissue that is composed of a single cell type, chondrocyte, and
a highly specialized extracellular matrix (ECM). Three major types of cartilaginous tissues …
