Dr. Chung’s research interest lie in the application of novel MR pulse sequences for the characterization of musculoskeletal tissues. She and her laboratory group have done extensive work in the evaluation of short and ultrashort T2 tissues in the musculoskeletal system. This includes, among other things, articular cartilage, the TMJ, knee meniscus and cortical bone. The group is focusing on qMRI biomarkers that may serve as non-invasive references to biochemical integrity and function of tissue.
