Model-Based Analysis of Biomedical Images Application to Cartilage Thickness Measurement in Drug Development
University of Manchester AstraZeneca Pharmaceuticals iMorphics Ltd Medical Image and Signal IRC
Cartilage Loss in Osteoarthritis • Degeneration of cartilage in disease • Analysis using cartilage thickness maps Cartilage thickness map
Aims of Image Analysis • Extract structures of interest (automatically) • segmentation of bone, cartilage … • requires anatomical knowledge • Construct cartilage thickness maps • stable measurement frame for each individual • common reference frame for population analysis
Model-Based Segmentation • Parameterised statistical models of anatomy Model of femur Using the model to segment the femur
Learning the Model • Statistical analysis of corresponding point-sets • Correspondence by optimisation Minimising model complexity
Obtaining a Thickness Map • Bone provides stable measurement frame • Cartilage thickness mapped to bone surface
Population Analysis • Model correspondences provide common frame • Population results displayed on average femur Average thickness map
Summary • Quantitative analysis of 3D medical images • Statistical models of anatomy • optimisation with respect to correspondence • model-based segmentation • Cartilage thickness maps relative to bone • Population analysis in average bone frame
