Preface
The knee plays an important role in human locomotion activities and daily performance. However, the knee joint often suffers from different inflammations and impact trauma such as osteoarthritis, tears of meniscus, and cartilage disorders. Vibration arthrometry is a noninvasive technique which has high potential for effective detection of knee pathology in routine examinations. This book provides a systematical description on the vibroarthrograpy methodology, along with the recent advances in vibroarthrographic signal preprocessing, feature analysis, and pattern classification. The overall context of the book is composed of five chapters. Chapter 1 presents knee anatomy, together with the descriptions of joint structures in detail. The text introduces knee biomechanics and different types of knee joint disorders. An overview of knee joint pathology detection methods, such as X-ray imaging, computed tomography, magnetic resonance imaging, ultrasonography, optical coherence tomography, arthroscopy, and vibroarthrography, is given in the chapter as well. Chapter 2 provides the flo
