This work analyzes knee bone curvature from OAI data
sets in patients with OA and predicts which subjects
will advance to TKR within five years of the initial
imaging. The MRI analysis is correlated with KL scores
and all TKR subjects are compared with match controls
who do not advance to TKR. The result is the development
of a biomarker, based on MRI bone curvatre changes, for
end-stage knee OA as defined by the need for TKR.
