Area of Science:

  • Biomedical Imaging
  • Radiology
  • Machine Learning

Background:

  • Subchondral bone analysis is crucial for knee osteoarthritis (OA) assessment.
  • High-resolution MRI is ideal but not routinely available.
  • Clinical CT has limitations in spatial resolution and soft-tissue contrast for reliable trabecular analysis.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop a method enabling accurate trabecular microstructural analysis and OA diagnosis using routine clinical CT.
  • To achieve reliability comparable to MR-based analysis using CT data.
  • To leverage cross-modal knowledge distillation for improved CT-based analysis.

Main Methods:

  • Proposed CT-based Subchondral Microstructural Analysis (CT-SMA) method.
  • Utilized distillation learning to transfer knowledge from MRI to CT.
  • Implemented a synthesis-based, multi-stage MR-CT registration strategy for cross-modal correspondence.
  • Employed a Transformer-based model for patient-level OA diagnosis.

Main Results:

  • CT-SMA demonstrated strong agreement (ICC=0.742) with MR-derived trabecular parameters.
  • CT-derived parameters enabled accurate OA diagnosis with an AUC of 0.883.
  • Outperformed CT-based prediction without distillation (AUC=0.778).

Conclusions:

  • Routine clinical CT can support reliable subchondral bone analysis using the CT-SMA method.
  • This approach provides a practical foundation for large-scale knee osteoarthritis studies.
  • CT-SMA bridges the gap between clinical CT limitations and the need for precise microstructural analysis.
