In this project, we aimed to develop sensitive and reproducible technologies for assessment of two - or three - dimensional joint imaging, and to provide those technologies in public in order to establish the standard analyzing tool among the majority of medical physicians. Various analyzing softwares for plain radiographs, static and loading MRI, and CT arthrography of hip and knee joints were developed, and the accuracy and clinical usefulness of the softwares were investigated among normal volunteers and patients with knee or hip osteoarthritis. Those softwares were provided as the free - license tools via the home pages for widespread use among many associated physicians.
