Fig. 2

Representative images of OA severity using computed tomography(upper) and X-ray(lower) imaging. Validation results by criteria for assessing OA severity using both CT and X-ray. OA severity was assessed using both CT and X-ray scores ranging from 0 to 4 points, A Score:1; B Score:2; C Score:3; D Score:4, with higher scores representing greater severity. The severity score in the OA group was significantly higher than that in the control group (P = 0.001). The yellow arrow indicates an osteophyte. The white arrow indicates a doubtful opacity in the infrapatellar fat pad
