Automating the process of femoroacetabular cartilage identification from MRI images has important implications to guiding clinical care by providing a temporal metric that allows for optimizing the timing for joint preservation surgery. In this paper, we rigorously evaluate a new prototypical automated cartilage segmentation method using a time-trial, segmented volume comparison, overlap metrics, and Euclidean distance mapping. We report interrater overlap metrics using the True FISP MRI sequence of 0.874, 0.546, and 0.704 for the total overlap, union overlap, and mean overlap, respectively. This method was 3.28x faster than manual segmentation and produces results comparable to that found in the literature. This technique provides clinicians with volumetric cartilage information that is useful for optimizing the timing for joint preservation procedures.
