Research Focus
Dr. Jutta M Ellermann's research lab at the University of Minnesota focuses on improving knee imaging techniques using advanced 7 Tesla (7T) MRI technology. The aim is to develop and optimize methods that will enhance the diagnosis and management of osteoarthritis, especially related to meniscal root tears. The lab combines engineering with biomedical research to explore the full capabilities of 7T MRI, which could significantly impact patient treatment and outcomes.
