Abstract

BACKGROUND: Semiquantitative assessment of MRI plays a central role in musculoskeletal research; however, in the clinical setting MRI reports often tend to be subjective and qualitative. Grading schemes utilized in research are not used because they are extraordinarily time-consuming and unfeasible in clinical practice.
