Using Advanced MRI and AI to Better Understand Ankle Joint Health
Summary
This study is testing new ways to use MRI scans and computer analysis to look at the health of tissues that make up the ankle joint, such as cartilage, muscles, tendons, and ligaments. Participants will have MRI scans and complete short questionnaires about their demographic information. The goal is to create tools that can automatically measure tissue structure and composition, so doctors and researchers can detect problems earlier, track changes over time, and better understand differences between people. The study does not involve any treatment, the scans are done only for research purposes.
