An AI system developed at the University of Surrey can predict future knee X-rays, providing insight into how osteoarthritis might worsen over time. By turning complex predictions into clear pictures, it gives doctors and patients a better chance of taking early action.

Researchers at the University of Surrey have created one artificial intelligence System that can estimate what a patient’s knee x-ray might look like one year in the future. The technology could significantly change the way people with osteoarthritis understand their condition and make decisions about treatments and lifestyle changes.

Transform data into visual predictions

The results were presented at the International Conference on Medical Image Computing and Computer Assisted Intervention (MICCAI 2025). The study explains how the Surrey team uses advanced technologies machine learning to provide a realistic “future” knee x-ray along with an assessment that estimates how…
