SPATIO-TEMPORAL ANALYSIS OF THE SIGNIFICANT CHANGES IN CARTILAGE MORPHOLOGY: DATA FROM THE OSTEOARTHRITIS INITIATIVE Jose Tamez-Pena1, Patricia Gonzalez2, Edward Schreyer2, Saara Totterman2, 1Biomedicine, Tec de Monterrey, Monterrey, Nuevo Leon, Mexico; 2Qmetrics Technologies, Rochester, NY, USA
Objective • Visualize, Follow and Quantitate the Areas of Cartilage Loss in an OA population
Introduction • Problem: • Cartilage Thickness Changes are focal, spatially heterogeneous and bi-directional: Thinning and thickening • Cohort studies look at population averages • The average of this heterogeneous data has a very small responsiveness • Solution: • For a subject: Localize and isolate the changes • For a cohort: Count map of the significant changes in cartilage thickness
Material & Methods • Osteoarthritis Initiative (OAI) 3D DESS data sets: • Releases 0.C.2, 1.C.2 and 3.C.1 from Progression cohort. • Three time points: Baseline, 12 month and 24 month. • 138 subjects with 3 time points • Nonexposed Data Release 0.E.1,1.E.1 and 3.E.1 (n=108) • Three time points: Baseline, 12 month and 24 month. • OAI Pilot Scan-Rescan Longitudinal Data for the estimation of scan-rescan variability (n=24)
Multi-Atlas-Based Segmentation • Generate Atlas • Register and Segment Each MRI to the Atlas (ITK registration modules) • Postprocess the segmentation to match underlying MRI information. • Visually score the quality of the segmentation. • Use the registration data to map each segmentation to the atlas space • Subtract each mapped segmentation to compute change in cartilage thickness • Compute Significant Changes • Compute Cohort Averages

Limitations • Small OA population • Multi-atlas based segmentation is biased towards atlas models • Less accurate at advanced OA cases • Higher noise at advanced OA cases
Conclusion • The automated analysis methodology enabled the localization and mapping of the significant changes in cartilage Thickness. • The significant changes are heterogeneous • Non Exposed OAI cohort did not change • OA subjects with no denuded areas had 2.4% of new areas of cartilage loss every year. SRM=0.73 • The methodology indicated that not all subjects are affected by loss, and that the prevalence of loss is greater at more advanced OA groups.
