Rachel K. Surowiec's research uses medical imaging methods, such as MRI and CT, to study bone and joint health, including bone quality, osteoporosis, cartilage, ligaments, and tendons in conditions like knee injuries and osteoarthritis. Her work focuses on developing and validating quantitative, non-invasive imaging techniques to assess tissue quality and disease progression, with more recent work also touching on cardiovascular imaging (carotid ultrasound and coronary calcification).
