    Three-dimensional ultrasound (3D US) offers a novel method for accurately depicting osteophytes in knee osteoarthritis compared to conventional imaging.

  • 2

    Osteophytes are critical indicators of knee osteoarthritis, but conventional imaging often fails to depict them accurately, impacting diagnosis and surgical planning.

  • 3

    Previous studies have shown that ultrasound (US) is more sensitive than conventional radiographs in detecting early-stage osteophytes.

  • 4

    The study aims to compare the accuracy of 3D US and computed tomography (CT) in depicting osteophytes against a structured light scanning model.

  • 5

    3D US combines the accessibility of ultrasound with the detailed imaging capabilities of CT, making it a promising tool for orthopedic applications.
