MRI-based morphometric analysis of the patellofemoral joint: diagnostic modeling of knee pathologies in adolescents
Marko Radulović
IntroductionTo evaluate whether routinely measured MRI-based patellofemoral joint morphometric parameters can support diagnostic modeling of selected adolescent knee pathologies and to compare a conventional multivariable logistic regression baseline with machine-learning approaches.MethodsThis retrospective single-center pilot diganostic modeling study included 168 adolescents (97 girls, 71 boys, mean age 15.5 ± 1.7 years) who underwent knee MRI between January 2018 and December 2024 because of
