Inclusion criteria

* Patients aged 18 years and older. * Diagnosed with primary degenerative osteoarthritis. * Complaining of knee pains * Patients clinically eligible for genicular nerve ablation procedure non-electively based on physical examination * Patient signed ICF

Exclusion criteria

* Co-morbidities: patient suffers from neuropathy, bony tumors, traumatic fractures and DM. * Claustrophobic or failing cooperativity assessment of laying still during long MRI scans * Pregnancy or pregnancy suspicion * Enrolled in concurrent studies that may confound the results of this study * Clinical condition that in the investigator's opinion would not allow the subject to complete the study, e.g., tremor, extreme obesity, mental disorders.
