Orthopedic Image Analysis

Osteoarthritis and osteoporosis image analysis research is yet another focus area of IIBI. Architecture and biomechanics of osteoporotic bone, cartilage morphometrics, and overall orthopedic biomechanics are studies from a variety of imaging modalitries, including MR, CT, and ultrasound.
