Creation of a three-dimensional (3D) computed tomography (CT) model of the humerus. The same procedure as used with magnetic resonance imaging was used. The segmented subchondral bone (SSB) was defined as the lesion whose continuity to the floor was lost in all three planes. The separate SSB model was created manually and is displayed in red for better visualization. Green, red and orange lines are the reference lines correspond to sagittal, axial and coronal, respectively. (a) Coronal view. (b) Axial view. (c) Sagittal view. (d) Reconstructed 3D image of the humerus.
