Current project focuses on the application of multimodal imaging strategies to improve the diagnosis
and track the healing process of navicular stress fractures

• Evaluating the microstructural features associated with stress fractures of the navicular bone using high-resolution peripheral quantitative computed tomography (HR-pQCT)
• Quantifying stress fracture-induced bone marrow edema through magnetic resonance imaging
• (MRI) and dual-energy CT (DE-CT)
• Tracking the microarchitectural repair that takes place during stress fracture healing through HRpQCT
