摘要：
A method for detecting symptomatic osteoarthritis in a human patient who is otherwise asymptomatic comprises: taking a plurality of magnetic resonance (MR) image signal features from MR sequences in a joint of the patient submitting the MR image signal features to a classifier for performing a feature reduction for redundant or unnecessary features calculating a signal texture index (STI) value from the remaining image features comparing that STI value against the STI values of one group of individuals suspected of being vulnerable to developing osteoarthritis at the first point in time and the same group of individuals years later predicting from that comparison of STI values a likelihood of the patient developing osteoarthritis and treating the patient accordingly.
