New scan technique could pinpoint exactly where knee pain starts

This study aims to develop a better way to locate painful inflammation in the knee joint for people with patellofemoral osteoarthritis. Researchers will use a special PET/MRI scan to see how inflammation changes when the knee is under pressure. About 50 adults, including both patients with knee pain and healthy volunteers, will take part. The goal is to improve understanding of what causes pain, not to test a new treatment.
