Where is Dupuytren’s? It’s been known for some time that Dupuytren’s involvement can be identified by MRI, as described in these articles:

and it’s likely that the activity of the process could be mapped, both for predictive value and for targeted treatment to prevent progression. Now, these papers are 15 years old – it’s time to revisit this with more up-to-date imaging technology to look again at the usefulness of MRI and Dupuytren’s in a longitudinal study – might make a nice PhD thesis…
