Developing Objective Computational Methods for Quantifying Ankle Osteoarthritis Using Low-Dose Weight Bearing CT

Video Transcription

Video Summary

In the video, Stu Kutazogl presents a study on developing objective methods for quantifying ankle arthritis using low-dose weight-bearing CT. The study aims to create a more objective classification system for ankle osteoarthritis by assessing ankle joints using weight-bearing CT scans. The study used a retrospective case control design, taking two patients with ankle osteoarthritis and one control patient. A proprietary software was used to analyze the imaging data, focusing on joint space width and image intensity. The study found differences in joint space width and contrast between arthritic ankles and controls but acknowledges limitations in sample size and the need for further studies. The study lays the foundation for a more comprehensive ankle arthritis assessment system.
