A machine learning approach to distinguish between knees without and with osteoarthritis using MRI-based radiomic features from tibial bone

ConclusionOur results suggest that radiomic features are useful imaging biomarkers of subchondral bone for the diagnosis of osteoarthritis. An advantage of assessing bone on MRI instead of on radiographs is that other tissues can be assessed simultaneously.Key Points• Subchondral bone plays a role in the osteoarthritis disease processes.• MRI radiomics is a potential method for quantifying changes in subchondral bone.• Semi-automatically extracted radiomic features of tibia differ between subjects without and with osteoarthritis.
