A new algorithm to segment the acetabular cartilage based on a single 3D DESS data set is presented. This development was motivated by a need to simplify visualization of 3D quantitative maps of acetabular cartilage damage for surgical planning and arthroscopic correlation. A rapid segmentation algorithm is an important element of this framework, which will be used to guide reparative arthroscopic surgery of patients with femoroacetabular impingement.
