Abstract
In a method for alpha angle measurements of a bone joint based on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) data of the bone joint, a three-dimensional (3D) bone surface image of the bone joint is generated based on two-dimensional (2D) segmentations on radial plane slices of the bone joint. Based on the 3D bone surface image, a head center of a head of the bone joint and a neck axis of a neck of the bone joint are estimated. An alpha angle model is constructed based on the estimated head center and neck axis. Further, the alpha angle measurement is determined for each of the radial plane slices of the bone joint based on the constructed alpha angle model.
