A. Exercise instructions, B. Video tracking, D. 3D skeletal tracking
Current work:
  1. Movement quality algorithms
  2. Mobile app for remote biomechanical assessments (see figure)
  3. Tracking biomechanical changes following response to treatment

MRI Biomarkers for Muscle Quality

Biomarkers for muscle quality and biomedical impairment using fat mapping

The coloring in the first two images shows the fatty tissue in dark blue. The image on the right shows the difference in fat quantification between T1 clinical MRI and IDEAL MRI. 
Radial analysis of fat quantities used for fat mapping

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Current work:

  1. Algorithm development for understanding muscle quality in clinical MRI
  2. Develop fat mapping methods using radial distance from disc center of rotation
  3. Understanding how fat mapping relates to pain and disability in chronic low back pain patients
