Research Focus
Dr. Marcelo Victor Wust Zibetti's lab focuses on developing advanced imaging techniques to improve the early diagnosis of knee osteoarthritis, a common disability among older adults. The research emphasizes the use of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) to assess cartilage health by analyzing structures non-invasively. This work aims to create faster and more accurate imaging methods to identify changes in cartilage before physical symptoms arise, ultimately contributing to better prevention strategies for knee osteoarthritis.
