ISMRM: Radiomics model predicts need for knee replacement surgery

AuntMinnie

SINGAPORE – A machine-learning model using radiomics features from MRIs could help clinicians predict whether patients with knee osteoarthritis may need total knee replacement (TKR) surgery. In a study discussed May 5 at the annual meeting of the International Society for Magnetic Resonance in Medicine (ISMRM), a model distinguished knee osteoarthritis patients in potential need of TKR with an accuracy of up to 87.2%.
