Knee osteoarthritis (KOA) progression prediction can support patient monitoring, requiring the integration of multimodal data and multidomain expertise. Moreover, isolated risk estimates provide limited insight underlying a prediction. To automate the progression assessment workflow and reduce manual effort while provi …
Vision-language models (VLMs) are increasingly being applied to three-dimensional medical imaging, but their application to knee MRI remains limited, particularly for interpreting the complementary sequences used in clinical practice. We introduce Knee3DVLM, a sequence-aware VLM that uses full-volume DESS and fluid-sen …
Early osteoarthritis detection through quantitative MRI (qMRI) requires accurate cartilage and meniscus segmentation, traditionally necessitating time-consuming, costly 3D high-resolution Double Echo Steady-State (DESS) MRI scans. This study developed a multi-task conditional generative adversarial network (MT-cGAN) to …
Background: Large volumes of unlabeled knee MRI scans are available across repositories but remain insufficiently leveraged. We developed KneePreM, a knee-specific 3D self-supervised model, and evaluated transfer and label efficiency for classification and segmentation. Methods: A 3D U-Net masked autoencoder was pretra …
