Magnetic Resonance Imagi ng (MRI)\, image analysis\, and computational techniques play a crucial ro le in diagnosing OA by revealing joint space narrowing\, bone spurs\, and changes in surrounding tissues (cartilage\, ligaments\, meniscus\, synoviu m) which help assess the severity and progression of the disease. Accurate imaging not only aids in early diagnosis but also informs treatment decis ions and monitoring. In this talk\, I will discuss state-of-the-art imagin g and computational research directions that: (a) help to understand how O A is propagated between connected joints (from the hips to the knees)\, b) decode the relationship between bone remodeling and cartilage degeneratio ns with walking patterns and why it is crucial for OA research. We will al so discuss how some of this research at expensive higher tesla MRI scanner s can be translated to lower tesla scanners for more accessibility across the globe. Overall\, this is achieved by implementing a series of image ac quisition\, processing\, and analysis tools enhanced by Artificial Intelli gence\, and Mathematical Modelling of Joint Pathophysiology. We will also conclude by discussing some of the potential computational research direct ions that the Musculoskeletal research community is heading toward.\n\nBIO :Rupsa Bhattacharjee\, PhD is a Postdoctoral Associate Specialist in the R adiology and Biomedical Imaging Department at the University of California San Francisco (UCSF). She is an Imaging Scientist with a primary interest in developing algorithms to improve the utility of MRI imaging as a diagn ostic and prognostic tool. She obtained her doctoral degree in Biomedical Engineering at IIT Delhi\, working on utilizing Susceptibility weighted MR imaging (SWI) in human subjects for non-invasive diagnosis of brain tumor s and acute ischemic stroke. After graduation\, in 2021\, she joined the M usculoskeletal Quantitative Imaging Research Group (MQIR) at UCSF to study joint diseases with compositional and metabolic MRI techniques combined w ith machine learning tools and biomechanics. She has worked as an MRI Appl ication Specialist in Philips Health Systems India for 8 years\, closely w ith various healthcare facilities to set up and optimize MRI scan acquisit ion parameters according to curtailed needs (1.5T &\; 3.0T). During her years in the industry\, she has partnered with Clinical scientists to joi ntly run MRI projects on a trial basis in Philips MRI collaborative resear ch centers. She had been an active part of Philips India’s AI-ambassador s team for AI-based knowledge sharing and educational\, collaborative appr oaches. In the past year\, she was named a ‘Junior Fellow’ at the Inte rnational Society of Magnetic Resonance Imaging in Medicine (ISMRM) and ha s received the ‘Bruce Hasegawa Memorial Award’ for excellence in Basic Imaging Science Research at UCSF.
