Multinuclear MRI to Assess Joint Homeostasis after Knee Injury

This study aims to develop a predictive model for post-traumatic osteoarthritis (PTOA) progression following anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury by integrating imaging, biological, and biomechanical markers to improve understanding, therapeutic targeting, and treatment monitoring.

MSK   X-NUCLEI

Quantitative Methods for the Evaluation of Femoroacetabular Impingement Using Magnetic Resonance Imaging

This project aims to develop advanced, translation-ready quantitative MRI and radiomics methods to improve early diagnosis and evaluation of femoroacetabular impingement (FAI), enabling more reliable and reproducible assessments than standard radiologic approaches.

Genomic and Imaging Markers to Understand and Predict Progression of Joint Damage After Injury

This study combines genomic analysis and diffusion tensor imaging to identify predictive biomarkers for the risk of developing post-traumatic osteoarthritis (PTOA) following anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury in young adults, aiming to improve prevention and therapy development.

MSK

Quantitative MRI of Skeletal Muscle Aging

This project develops and validates advanced quantitative MRI techniques to assess compositional and structural changes in skeletal muscles of older adults and determine how these changes predict future declines in muscle strength and function.

MSK   QUANTITATIVE MRI

Multiparametric Mapping of Knee Joint with Magnetic Resonance Fingerprinting

This project develops advanced magnetic resonance fingerprinting (MRF) methods enhanced with machine learning to improve the efficiency and robustness of MRI for early detection of osteoarthritis (OA) in the knee by identifying biochemical and structural changes before visible damage occurs.
