The Art of Communication in Anatomical Research & Knowledge Translation: Recognizing Old Problems and Identifying New Solutions
The study of anatomy dates back thousands of years, and with the development of modern-day minimally-invasive procedures, anatomical research and knowledge translation remains fundamentally important to the advancement and practice of medicine. This is true for the field of image-guided radiofrequency ablation to manage debilitating chronic joint pain related to osteoarthritis, where anatomical knowledge of sensory nerve targets is essential to the therapeutic effectiveness of these procedures. In this talk, John will illustrate the importance of anatomical research related to image-guided pain interventions, discuss the communication/visualization challenges in translating anatomical research knowledge into the clinical setting, and share his insights on how future technological advances may address these communication/visualization challenges to improve patient outcomes following image-guided radiofrequency ablation.

John Tran is a clinical anatomist with a decade of anatomical research experience focusing on the sensory nerve supply to joints in relation to landmarks visible with image-guided technologies. John completed his Doctor of Philosophy at the Rehabilitation Sciences Institute at the University of Toronto. Currently, he is a Postdoctoral Research Fellow in the Department of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation at Western University. John has published several clinically-relevant anatomical studies focused on innervation of the knee, ankle, shoulder, wrist and lumbar facet joints. Most recently, John cofounded a software company focusing on using 3D digital content and technology to enhance anatomy education and research knowledge translation.
