The study of knee cartilage under subchondral abnormality is important in osteoarthritis (OA) progression studies. However, cartilage segmentation for patients with Bone-Marrow-Edema (BME) lesion, particularly using radial-search based approach, is erroneous. In this study, a framework for automatic segmentation of femoro-tibial cartilage of OA patients with and without bone abnormality, based on modified radial-search approach and T2-map values is developed. A 2D projected view of T2-map and thickness values of cartilage was generated. Proposed method was successfully applied on 23 MRI patient data. Dice-coefficient for cartilage segmentation was ~82% for OA patients with and without BME lesions.
