Radiomics-based nomogram using digital radiography for early diagnosis of knee osteoarthritis

Key Points

• To create a nomogram that utilizes radiomics and digital radiography for the early diagnosis of knee osteoarthritis (KOA).
• Employ digital radiography to capture images of the knee.
• Apply radiomics techniques to extract features from these images.
• Combine extracted data with age for diagnostic accuracy.
• The radiomics-based nomogram shows improved accuracy in early KOA diagnosis.
• Age combined with radiomic features enhances diagnostic precision.
• Results indicate strong potential for integration into clinical practice.
