Evolution of semi-quantitative whole joint assessment of knee OA: MOAKS (MRI Osteoarthritis Knee Score)

Abstract: Objective In an effort to evolve semi-quantitative scoring methods based upon limitations identified in existing tools, integrating expert readers’ experience with all available scoring tools and the published data comparing the different scoring systems, we iteratively developed the MRI Osteoarthritis Knee Score (MOAKS). The purpose of this report is to describe the instrument and its reliability. Methods The MOAKS instrument refines the scoring of BMLs (providing regional delineation and scoring across reg… Show more

“…Based on our findings, SHOMRI scoring of the hip is a precise and reliable method to evaluate hip cartilage and labral abnormalities. MRI has been shown to be highly sensitive and specific for characterization and assessment of musculoskeletal disorders [19][20][21][22][23] and especially in the setting of joint pathologies several MR-based scoring methods have been introduced [11,19,[24][25][26][27][28], all with the common purpose to provide practice guidelines in describing and quantifying radiologic findings and to minimize subjectivity. Moreover, the accurate and systematic classification of MRI using a standardized terminology of reporting creates reproducibility that is ideally reflected in high intra-and interrater reliability of each method.…”
