SUMMARY & PRESENTATIONS INTERNATIONAL WORKSHOP OF OSTEOARTHRITIS IMAGING (IWOAI), LAUSANNE, JUNE 28-30, 2023
Published on June 30, 2023 by Chondrometrics-admin
The team of Chondrometrics GmbH and the Research Program for Imaging at Paracelsus Medical University presenting at the Imaging Workshop in Lausanne included Susanne Maschek (Chief of Human Resources and Quality Control), Anna Wisser (Project Manager & PhD), Wolfgang Wirth (Chief Technical Officer and Chief of Quality Control), and Felix Eckstein (CEO & CMO).
The group contributed 3 first author oral presentations and 2 posters displayed below. Susanne Maschek spoke on the variability of cartilage T2 measurements between MRI field strengths ranging from 0.55 to 7.0 Tesla, Wolfgang Wirth on the imaging characteristics of 3 different osteoarthritis endotypes derived from liquid (biochemical) markers, and Felix Eckstein on the agreement of laminar (deep and superficial) T2 between fully automated and expert manual analysis. Anna Wisser presented a poster on the agreement of automated vs. manual T2 analysis in radiographically normal knees with and without MRI cartilage lesions, and Felix Eckstein one on cartilage T2 in anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injured patients (non-copers, copers, and operated) vs. healthy controls.
We thank our co-authors for the great collaboration on the above projects, and we look forward seeing you at the OARSI World Congress 2024 in April in Vienna as well as at the IWOAI 2024 in June in Marrakech.

•Already the trip from Freilassing to Lausanne was stunning, riding along countless lakes, and finally being greeted by Lake Geneva. The Lake “centered” the meeting, adding a point of gravity, and so did this extraordinarily beautiful city that is somehow a little bit off the beaten tourist track. Thanks to Patrick Omoumi for being a perfect host, for an exciting scientific program, and for great socials.
