Research interests

My main research interest is quantitative cross-modality imaging of the hip joint for biomarker development in osteoarthritis. I work on a combination of clinical computed tomography and 3T magnetic resonance imaging developing novel 3D imaging analysis algorithms that are sensitive and precise enough to pick up otherwise occult structural changes of disease in bone and cartilage. I have been involved in a number of cross-disciplinary musculoskeletal research projects, working with Dr Graham Treece (Engineering), Dr Ken Poole (Medicine) and Prof. David J Lomas (Radiology).
