Claim 0:
1. A method for generating a feature map that depicts a spatial distribution or pattern of a feature associated with osteolysis or synovitis, the steps of the method comprising:
(a) accessing with a computer system, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) data acquired from a subject;
(b) accessing with the computer system, a trained machine learning algorithm that has been trained on training data to generate feature maps associated with synovitis;
(c) inputting the MRI data to the trained machine learning algorithm in order to generate output with the computer system, wherein the output comprises at least one feature map that depicts a spatial distribution of a feature associated with synovitis, wherein the at least one feature map depicts the spatial distribution of a classification of locations within the subject as being associated with a type of synovitis at those locations.
