Musculoskeletal Imaging

The Musculoskeletal Imaging program at the Centre examines the biomechanics of the knee. Sophisticated MR-compatible devices have been constructed to image the knee in various loaded states. Both static and kinematic imaging is used to determine forces on various structures in the knee.
