The early prediction of individuals who will eventually require total knee replacement (TKR) remains a challenging problem. In this project, we propose to use 3D deep convolutional neural networks (CNN) to predict the likelihood of a patient receiving a TKR within nine years using 718 subjects from the Osteoarthritis Initiative1 (OAI) dataset. We found that our model results in better performance compared to a logistic regression model using clinical risk factors2 (AUC: 0.8480±.0173 vs 0.7716±.0229 and accuracy: 77.15±1.88% vs. 71.16±2.70%).
