After completing specialty training in Physical Medicine & Rehabilitation, Dr. Segal earned a master's degree in clinical investigation. To date, I have authored or co-authored over 170 manuscripts describing investigations in the Multicenter Osteoarthritis Study, the Osteoarthritis Initiative and independent clinical trials focused on imaging protocols and outcomes. Dr. Segal's initial investigations focused on the use of imaging and motion analysis to assess the mechanism by which obesity contributes to risk for knee joint damage. He then initiated work on the application of volumetric imaging in predicting incident symptomatic knee osteoarthritis and structural knee joint damage. His experience conducting clinical research, in which he has acquired radiographs, CT, MRI and ultrasound images of thousands of knees over the past 20 years enables Dr. Segal to comprehensively assess knee imaging protocols. His expertise in clinical management of osteoarthritis, training in epidemiology and advanced imaging allow application of these skills to a variety of research projects. There are three arms to Dr. Segal's clinical research program. One uses diagnostic imaging to identify factors which predict who will develop painful knee osteoarthritis in the future so that preventive interventions can be designed. Another involves use of rehabilitation programs to improve mobility in people with knee osteoarthritis. The third is aimed at reducing risk for musculoskeletal problems that occur with pregnancy. The longterm goals of his research program are to reduce risk for disablement due to knee osteoarthritis and other lower limb musculoskeletal problems. Dr. Segal's clinical practice involves the use of ultrasound and other imaging modalities to serve patients with musculoskeletal problems.

I grew up in Nashville, Tennessee and attended Vanderbilt University for my undergraduate studies in biology.
