An Imaging Framework for Clinically Testing New Treatments to Prevent Post-traumatic OA
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating pedCAT for Orthopedic Disorder and 3 related conditions. Completed, enrolled 97 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
The immediate goal of the proposed research is to test the value of a new low-cost, low-dose standing CT system for efficient early detection of both joint degeneration and elevated contact stress. The standing CT scanner holds promise for detecting arthritic changes earlier than other imaging modalities because of the combination of its 3D nature and ability to image joints in a weight-bearing pose. A secondary goal of the proposed research is to enable predictive models for osteoarthritis risk based on measures of post treatment contact stress, both to inform treatment and so that new interventions can be tested in a manner incorporating risk stratification.
