Abstract

BACKGROUND: The patellar height index is important; however, the measurement procedures are time-consuming and prone to significant variability among and within observers. We developed a deep learning-based automatic measurement system for the patellar height and evaluated its performance and generalization ability to accurately measure the patellar height index.
