Areas of Research
Musculoskeletal Imaging and Biomechanics
My research focuses on using imaging to better understand the mechanisms that underpin diseases of the musculoskeletal system including osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis and osteoporosis. I utilize clinical imaging facilities for human studies in the Centre for Mobility for Joint Health, including high resolution peripheral quantitative computed tomography, weight-bearing computed tomography, ultrasound and magnetic resonance imaging. Our research applies these imaging tools to assess biomechanics, bone and joint adaptation and structural findings related to pain and symptoms.
