The joints were wrapped in saline-soaked gauze, stored in air-tight plastic bags, and kept frozen at −20☌ until the day prior to testing to preserve bony quality and retain moisture.

We hypothesized that the accuracy for length measurements on 3D-CT using open-source OsiriX software would be less than 0.3 mm.įourteen frozen stifle (knee) joints from male pigs (body weight 30–40 kg) were obtained from a local abattoir. In this study, we aimed to evaluate the accuracy and reliability of length measurement on CT with OsiriX software. To our knowledge, there are no reports that describe the accuracy and reliability of OsiriX for length measurement on 3D CT data. OsiriX is a highly functional software program that allows users to reconstruct and manipulate 3D images and coordinate data. We are currently using the open-source, FDA-approved, Digital Imaging and Communication in Medicine (DICOM) software, OsiriX, as a research tool for joint kinematics and isometric ligament reconstruction. In addition, because measurements are made by human observers even when using an image processing program, both random and systematic errors should be validated. When CT data are processed by image processing programs (i.e., volume or surface rendering programs), systematic errors must be considered. Because 3D-CT scans used for bony reconstruction are currently performed with 0.3 to 0.6 mm voxels, the resolution of 3D-CT scans are close to 0.15 to 0.3 mm this resolution is regarded as negligible in research involving human joint kinematics. The resolution of CT is half the voxel size of CT scan. Recently, there has been a growing interest in 3D-CT as a research tool for the study of bone and joint anatomy and kinematics. Improvements of geometric resolution and computational power for computed tomography (CT) have led to increased utilization of CT images in the development of three-dimensional (3D) models, thus providing a comprehensive outline of shape and 3D coordinate data. For kinematic analysis of the knees, length measurements on 3D-CT using OsiriX program can be used as alternatives to real measurements with less than 0.3-mm accuracy and very high reliability. The intraclass correlation coefficients (ICC) were very high between trials and between replicates (ICC = 0.998 and 0.999, respectively). There were no significant differences between the replicates and real measurements ( p = 0.544 and 0.622 for replicates 1 and 2, respectively). The mean differences between OsiriX and real measurements were less than 0.1 mm in both replicates, and maximum differences were less than 0.3 mm.

All measurements were recorded by a principal (replicate 1, trial 1) and a secondary observer (replicate 2, trial 1) and were repeated once by each observer (trial 2). The lengths between tunnel orifices were measured using Mitutoyo Digimatic digital calipers to establish the gold standard, and with the OsiriX program in 3D multi-planar reformatting mode for comparison. 3D-CT scans were made of 14 frozen pig knees with five transosseous holes in the metaphyseal portion of femur. We evaluated the accuracy and reliability of length measurement on CT with OsiriX software. However, when CT data are processed and handled manually using image processing programs to yield 3D image and coordinate value, systematic and random errors should be validated. If there was also a way to hide the controls(top and bottom menu) while in the viewer or enter a "full-screen" mode then this app would definitely earn the 5 stars it is trying to receive.There is a growing interest in three-dimensional computed tomography (3D-CT) as a research tool for the study of bone, joint anatomy, and kinematics.

I usually take a series of 4 x-rays and I have to disable contrast when I switch to the next x-ray or risk it accidentally going full black and having to "play" with the image to get it back to normal. There are many times I will show someone an x-ray and if I don't remember to disable the contrast right away it will go completely white or black. I would very much like the option of completely turning off the contrast control or having it greyed out by default, like the angle controls are. No certain function seems to cause it, it just happens. The Bad: I do get the occasional crash, I can not reproduce it but it can happen very randomly with no rhyme or reason. Images look very good on the iPad, easy to use. The Query/Retrieve function is quick between the two.

The Good: This app works very well with the Osirix Viewing program on my (2010) Mac Mini.
