摘要: 膝关节骨关节炎(Knee Osteoathritis, KOA)是临床常见的慢性退行性关节疾病,传统影像学检查对早期病变敏感性不足,易造成诊断延迟。MRI影像组学可高通量提取医学影像定量特征,结合机器学习算法构建评估模型,客观量化关节组织微观异质性,在KOA早期诊断、病情进展预测、疗效评估及风险分层中展现出重要的应用价值。本文围绕MRI影像组学的基础理论、技术流程、在KOA诊疗中的应用现状、现存挑战及发展前景进行综述,为该技术的临床转化与规范化应用提供参考。
Abstract: Knee osteoarthritis (KOA) is a prevalent chronic degenerative joint disorder in clinical practice. Conventional imaging modalities show inadequate sensitivity for detecting subtle early lesions, which frequently leads to delayed diagnosis and intervention. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)-based radiomics enables high-throughput extraction of quantitative features from medical images and allows the construction of predictive models using machine learning algorithms, thereby objectively quantifying the microscopic heterogeneity of articular tissues. This technique has demonstrated significant clinical value in early diagnosis, disease progression prediction, treatment efficacy evaluation, and risk stratification of KOA. The present article systematically reviews the fundamental principles, technical workflows, current application status, existing challenges, and future prospects of MRI-based radiomics in the management of KOA, with the aim of providing theoretical references for the clinical translation and standardized implementation of this technology.
