摘要我们开发了一个开源程序，解决了目前B超的局限性，并扩大了超声在评估股骨滑车软骨厚度方面的临床应用。收集了18名有膝关节手术史的患者的图像。由于没有考虑超声声学和光束折射，软骨厚度分别被低估了26%和高估了0-4%(p<；0.001)。通过测量每个点之间的欧几里德距离获得的综合厚度测量结果与传统的单一位置测量或使用面积/长度测量的结果有显著差异(p=0.004-0.006)。子区域与所有感兴趣的整个区域有显著差异(p=0.001-0.012)。
Abstract We developed an open-sourced program that accounts for the current limitations of B-mode ultrasound and extends the clinical utility of ultrasound for assessing femoral trochlear cartilage thickness. Images were collected on 18 patients with a history of knee surgery. By failing to account for ultrasound acoustics and beam refraction, cartilage thickness was underestimated by 26% and overestimated by 0–4%, respectively (p < 0.001). Comprehensive thickness measurements achieved by measuring the Euclidean distance between every point were significantly different than traditional single-location measurements or by using the area/length (p = 0.004–0.006). Sub-regions were significantly different than all whole regions of interest (p = 0.001–0.012).
