Synopsis

Texture analysis of quantitative T2 maps in combination with machine learning was explored as a tool for classification and prediction of various conditions in musculoskeletal (MSK) research. We explored random forest classification algorithm as a tool for identification of important texture features for the classification of MACT grafts and native cartilage twelve months after surgery. Our model performed with high accuracy (84.6%) and identified features with highest importance were: cluster prominence, sum average, autocorrelation and correlation.
