In plain words

What the trial is, and whether it could suit you

In current literature, databases of healthy knee anatomy and function are confined to small sample sizes or singular imaging modalities. In this study, the investigator propose constructing a unique and large-scale database of healthy Caucasian knee anatomy and function by utilizing a combination of ultra-high resolution capabilities from photon-counting CT, lower limb weightbearing orthogonal imaging (EOS) of full leg, and non-invasive ultrasound-based functional testing of the knee. This study is a collaborative effort between the orthopaedics, radiology and biomechanical engineering departments in which the same prospectively acquired database will be used for multiple independent research questions.
