Semi-Automated Detection of Anterior Cruciate Ligament Injury from MRI

Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) is the most commonly injured ligament in a human body, for which surgery is frequently performed [1]. Although this type of knee injury is typical for athletes, it can happen to anyone. Presence of an ACL injury is usually determined by performing a magnetic resonance (MR) scan of a knee joint and then visually inspecting the scan. This analysis is usually performed by a radiologist who determines the level of injury, i.e. whether the rupture is complete, partial (or strained) or the ACL is not injured at all  [2].
