Background: The thickness of cortical bone and the density of cancellous bone have been shown to reflect local mechanical stress. However, little is known whether this also applies to the thickness of the subchondral mineralization zone (SMZ). Since the humeroulnar joint may be regarded as a model o
We have developed an algorithm to estimate and display the spatial distribution of the thickness of articular cartilage in human knees. We used a simulation to derive the most appropriate formula for estimating thickness in digital images. The algorithm was tested by imaging a thickness phantom and
