Using MRI to detect and track knee osteoarthritis
Part of Bones, joints & muscles clinical trials.
This study uses advanced MRI scans to see how well they can detect and track knee osteoarthritis. Healthy volunteers and people with moderate knee osteoarthritis are both needed to compare their knee images.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 40 and 70 years old
- You either have knee osteoarthritis (grade 2 or 3) or you have no knee pain, injury, or surgery history (healthy volunteer)
- You do not have a body mass index (BMI) over 35, and your body fits inside an MRI scanner
- You do not have severe knee misalignment (bowleg or knock-knee)
- You have no metal implants or other reasons that prevent MRI, are not pregnant or breastfeeding, and are not in another drug trial

This research study uses advanced imaging (PET and MRI scans) to better understand osteoarthritis in the front of the knee, where the kneecap meets the thighbone. You'll help researchers learn how to detect and track this condition earlier.
This study uses ultrasound imaging to evaluate knee osteoarthritis in people over 30 with painful knees. It aims to better understand how the condition appears on imaging.
This study looks at how knee osteoarthritis or other types of knee arthritis progress over time, using blood tests and X-rays. It aims to find markers that could predict whether the disease will get worse, which may help guide treatment decisions.
This study uses artificial intelligence (AI) to better understand knee images from healthy people and those with knee arthritis. It aims to predict how well knee injections might work for you.
This study measures two proteins in your blood (COMP and MMP-3) to see if they can help doctors understand how severe knee osteoarthritis is. Researchers compare people with knee arthritis to people without it to learn if these blood tests might help diagnose or track the condition.
This trial tests whether adding a special MRI technique (T2 mapping) to a routine knee scan helps doctors see early signs of osteoarthritis more clearly. If you have knee OA and meet the safety requirements for MRI, you might be eligible.
