A novel approach for computerized quantitative image analysis of proximal femur bone shape deformities based on the hip joint symmetry

作者：

Highlights：

• A novel approach was proposed for proximal femur shape deformity quantification.

• Deformities in proximal femurs were quantified using the hip joint symmetry in 2D.

• Bilateral MRI slices of Legg-Calve-Perthes disease (LCPD) patients were analyzed.

• A total of 13 coronal MRI slices of 13 LCPD patients were evaluated.

• Successful results were achieved in quantification of proximal femur deformities.
