Dr. Guermazi is a Professor of Radiology & Medicine at Boston University School of Medicine. He is one of the three founders of the International Workshop on Osteoarthritis Imaging. Dr. Guermazi’s research focuses on imaging the musculoskeletal system, especially in characterizing the magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and X-ray changes that occur in osteoarthritis (OA). He has been repeatedly involved in studies on meniscus, cartilage, synovitis and bone marrow lesions in knees, hip and spine and is extremely familiar with how best to acquire the images which optimize their assessment and with measuring these lesions. Recognized for scientific contributions in the MRI-based diagnosis and disease progression assessment of OA, he has been an MRI reader for assessing meniscus, cartilage, synovitis and bone marrow lesions in large NIH-funded studies (e.g., the Osteoarthritis Initiative (OAI), the Multicenter Osteoarthritis Study (MOST), the Health Aging and Body Composition (Health ABC) study, the Boston Osteoarthritis Knee study (BOKS), and the Framingham study). Dr. Guermazi is a principal investigator (PI) for several NIH-funded OAI ancillary projects. His work also focuses on imaging in sports medicine and especially the role of MRI in preventing sports injuries and predicting return to play.
