IB Lab KOALA

ImageBiopsy Lab

Knee Osteoarthritis Labeling Assistant. Osteoarthritis is a paralyzing joint disease that can lead to joint replacement. Early detection as well as therapy can prevent unnecessary surgeries. Image Biopsy's lab module KOALA detects signs of knee osteoarthritis based on standard joint parameters and OARSI criteria of standing radiographs of the knee.
