Lawrence M. White MD, FRCPC

Dr White is involved in multidisciplinary team-based research related to MR imaging of sports injury, cartilage disease and health, as well as physiologic/functional MR imaging of the Musculoskeletal system. His research work is grant supported by the Canadian Institute for Health Research, and the Canadian Arthritis Network and he was recently honored with the Presidents Medal of the International Skeletal Society for his research contributions to the field of bone and joint disease.

Ongoing research is focused on the use of MR imaging in the assessment of articular cartilage utilizing qualitative and quantitative analysis techniques including ultrastructural and biochemical measures of early cartilage disease. In collaboration with team members from the fields of biomedical engineering, physics, orthopedic surgery, sports medicine, pathology, and veterinary medicine our team's research interests include the development, investigation and refinement of different approaches to MR imaging evaluation of normal articular cartilage, cartilage disease, risk factors for cartilage degeneration, and assessment of cartilage regeneration, replacement and repair.
