A study on computer aided diagnosis of posterior cruciate ligaments is presented in this paper. The diagnosis relies on T1-weighted magnetic resonance imaging. During the image analysis stage, the ligament region is automatically detected, localized, and extracted using fuzzy segmentation methods. Eight geometric features are defined for the ligament object. With a clinical reference database containing 107 cases of both healthy and pathological cases, a Fisher linear discriminant is used to select 4 most distinctive features. At the classification stage we employ five different soft computing classifiers to evaluate the feature vector suitability for the computerized ligament diagnosis. Among the classifiers we introduce and specify the particle swarm optimization based Sugeno-type fuzzy inference system and compare its performance to other established classification systems. The classification accuracy metrics: sensitivity, specificity, and Dice index all exceed 90% for each classifier under consideration, indicating high level of the proposed feature vector relevance in the computer aided ligaments diagnosis.

A multi-step methodology resulting in a three-dimensional visualization and construction of feature vector of posterior cruciate ligament is presented. In the first step the location of the posterior cruciate ligament is established using the fuzzy image concept. The fuzzy image concept is based on the entropy measure of fuzziness extended to two dimensions. In order to reduce the area of analysis, the region of interest including the ligament structures is detected. In this case, the fuzzy C-means algorithm with median modification helping to reduce blurred edges was implemented. After finding the region of interest, the fuzzy connectedness procedure was performed. This procedure permitted to extract the ligament structures. On the basis of the extracted posterior cruciate ligament structures, the three-dimensional visualization of this ligament was built and, with the support of experts' knowledge, an appropriate feature vector was constructed and its values assigned for normal and pathological cases. Correct results were obtained for over 88% of 97 cases.
