Abstract:surface was fit (least squares) to the AC surface data points; 2. The bicubic surface was subtracted from the AC surface, resulting in a surface that was assessed by a standard roughness analysis method, R q (Root Mean Square surface height; See ISO 25178). Finally the OARSI grading reference was obtained from Safranin-O stained sections. Results: The developed algorithm successfully segmented the AC surface of the mCT volumes (Fig 2). In mCT, the surface of sample 1 appears to be smooth with minor roughness (… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
