Objective To evaluate if baseline pathological knee conditions as assessed via single features of the MR-based Whole-Organ Magnetic Resonance Imaging Scoring (WORMS), standard T2, and T2 gray-level co-occurrence matrix (GLCM) texture parameters of knee cartilage can serve as potential long-term radi...
