INTERACTIVE METHOD TO ASSESS JOINT SPACE NARROWING

摘要

A system is configured to assess joint space narrowing and includes a processor communicatively coupled to a display, non-transitory memory and a user input. The processor is configured for receiving at least two images and designating one image as a reference image and another image as a target image. Then, alternating whether the reference image or the target image is displayed on the display. After that, receiving common objects on the target image and the reference image from the user input. Next, embedding the common objects as anatomical landmarks on the reference image and the target image. Following that, receiving transformation instructions from the user input changing an appearance of the target image. Then, loading the transformation instructions into a transformation matrix. Finally, determining the joint space narrowing from the transformation instructions in the transformation matrix.

1. A system for assessing joint space narrowing; the system comprising:
a processor communicatively coupled to a display, non-transitory memory and a user input wherein the processor is configured with processor instructions for: receiving at least two images and designating one image as a reference image and another image as a target image; alternating whether the reference image or the target image is displayed on the display; receiving common objects on the target image and the reference image from the user input; embedding the common objects as anatomical landmarks on the reference image and the target image; receiving transformation instructions from the user input changing an appearance of the target image; wherein some of the anatomical landmarks are identically aligned; loading the transformation instructions into a transformation matrix; and determining the joint space narrowing from the transformation instructions in the transformation matrix.
