Abstract
Image analysis methods for gleno-humeral joint morphology. At least one specific structure is approximated as an elliptical structure at a plurality of transverse sections. At least one pathological feature on the structure is recognized. At least one structural spatial property of a 3D structure is calculated based on the structural property of the elliptical structure, thus determining the morphology of the 3D structure. Structural deformities are evaluated according to the morphology of the 3D structure. The pathological features on the sections are integrated to obtain at least one 3D pathological feature property, and a treatment is determined accordingly.

An image analysis method for gleno-humeral joint morphology, comprising:
- providing a plurality of transverse sections;
- approximating at least one specific structure as an elliptical structure at each of the transverse sections;
- recognizing at least one pathological feature on the specific structure;
- calculating at least one structural spatial property of a 3D structure based on at least one structural property of the elliptical structure, thus determining the morphology of the 3D structure;
