Osteoarthritis is the most common form of arthritis and is increasing markedly due to an ageing population. This program of research uses magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) to improve our understanding about knee osteoarthritis. It will examine knee structural change over time using unique 10-year follow-up MRI measures from a pre-existing case-control study. This program of research will also examine two randomised controlled trials which aim to evaluate therapeutic treatments for the disease.

骨关节炎是关节炎的最常见形式，并且由于人口老龄化而显著增加。这项研究计划使用磁共振成像（MRI）来提高我们对膝关节骨关节炎的理解。它将使用来自预先存在的病例对照研究的独特的10年随访MRI测量来检查膝关节结构随时间的变化。该研究计划还将检查两项旨在评估该疾病治疗方法的随机对照试验。
