Currently interested in contrast media and biolubricants in the early diagnosis and treatment of osteoarthritis. What is the potential of new contrast media in imaging of articular cartilage? How do you best use radiographic imaging to monitor the progression of osteoarthritis over time, and how does a synthetic biopolymer, that lubricates and reinforces the tissue, slow down the disease progression?
