Dr. Feliks Kogan's research is focused on the development and clinical translation of novel quantitative and molecularly specific imaging technologies geared toward detection of disease at the earliest causative stages. Specifically, he is motivated to study the causes and treatment of osteoarthritis (OA) and other musculoskeletal disorders, which have a large physical and financial impact but remain poorly understood. Research projects include development of:

1. novel PET and MRI imaging methods to study early tissue changes at the cellular and molecular level,
2. functional imaging methods to study important relationships between mechanics, physiology and tissue microstructure,
3. rapid, comprehensive and quantitative MRI methods for early, low-cost, and precise detection of musculoskeletal disease.
