摘要：Methods are disclosed for assessing the condition of a cartilage in a joint,particularly in a human knee. The methods include converting an image such as an MRI toa three dimensional map of the cartilage. The cartilage map can be correlated to a

movement pattern of the joint to assess the affect of movement on cartilage wear.Changes in the thickness of cartilage over time can be determined so that therapies canbe provided. Information o thickness of cartilage and curvature of cartilage or

subchondral bone can be used to plan therapy. Information on movement pattern can beused to plan therapy.
