Hello,

I have a 3DMRI dataset of the same knee with the following scan types with acquisition matrix 0\512\350\0 and slice thickness of 0.74mm.

- PD (TE: 35, TR:1100)
- PD FS (TE: 35, TR:1100)
- DESS (TE: 5.3, TR: 14.8)

Does anyone know if there is an AI that can automatically segment the following structures:

- Bones
- Cartilage
- Meniscus
- Ligaments (Primarily ACL, PCL, LCL, MCL)

Additionally but not essential:

- Muscles & Tendons
- Neurovasculature

I believe this thread is still accurate. There are some papers about building models like this and it should be a solvable problem but I don’t know of any off-the-shelf models.

> Hello all, Thank you introducing this. Are there any segmentations available for musculoskeletal anatomy? Specifically, I am looking for joints, tendons, ligaments, bursae, and cartilage.If not, are there any resources out there on how to create such segmentations? Thank you.
