Accuracy Limits for the Thickness Measurement of the Hip Joint Cartilage in 3-D MR Images: Simulation and Validation

This paper describes a theoretical simulation method for ascertaining the inherent limits on the accuracy of thickness measurement of hip joint cartilage in 3-D MR images. This method can specify where and how thickness can be measured with sufficient accuracy under the certain MR imaging conditions...
