B-mode ultrasound is often used to quantify muscle architecture during movements. Our
objectives were to 1) systematically review the reliability of fascicle length (FL) and …

When muscles contract, they bulge in thickness or in width to maintain a (nearly) constant
volume. These dynamic shape changes are tightly linked to the internal constraints placed …

There are few comprehensive investigations of the changes in muscle architecture that
accompany muscle contraction or change in muscle length in vivo. For this study, we …

ABSTRACT 'Muscle gear'is calculated as the ratio of fascicle-to-muscle length change,
strain, or velocity. Inconsistencies in nomenclature and definitions of gear exist across …

Pennation angle (PA) is an important property of human skeletal muscle that plays a
significant role in determining the force contribution of fascicles to skeletal movement. Two …

Automatic and accurate methods to estimate normalized regional brain volumes from MRI
data are valuable tools which may help to obtain an objective diagnosis and followup of …

This paper presents an investigation into the feasibility of using deep learning methods for
develo** arbitrary full spatial resolution regression analysis of B-mode ultrasound images …

Skeletal muscle models are used to investigate motion and force generation in both
biological and bioengineering research. Yet, they often lack a realistic representation of the …

The objective is to test automated in vivo estimation of active and passive skeletal muscle
states using ultrasonic imaging. Current technology (electromyography, dynamometry, shear …

We address the problem of tracking in vivo muscle fascicle shape and length changes using
ultrasound video sequences. Quantifying fascicle behavior is required to improve …
