Understanding the levator ani complex architecture is of major clinical relevance. The aim of
this study was to determine the feasibility of magnetic resonance (MR) fiber tractography …

Cerebral palsy (CP) is associated with movement disorders and reduced muscle size. This
latter phenomenon has been observed by computing muscle volumes from conventional …

Thanks to its proven utility in both clinical and research applications, diffusion tensor
tractography (DTT) is regularly employed as a means of delineating white-matter tracts …

Proton magnetic resonance spectroscopic imaging (1H‐MRSI) was used to determine
muscle fiber orientations in human calf muscles. The method is based on the fact that some …

The accuracy of the outcome in a diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) experiment depends on the
acquisition scheme as well as the postprocessing methods used. In the present study, the …

Pelvic floor dysfunction and pelvic organ prolapse have been associated with damage to the
levator ani (LA) muscle, but the exact mechanisms linking them remain unknown. It has …

Muscle strains are one of the most common complaints treated by physicians. A muscle
injury is typically diagnosed from the patient history and physical exam alone, however the …

The present paper describes a geometrically and physically nonlinear continuum model to
study the mechanical behaviour of passive and active skeletal muscle. The contraction is …

Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is a well known diagnostic tool in radiology that
produces unsurpassed images of the human body, in particular of soft tissue. However, the …

Purpose In this paper, we introduce a novel method for determining 3D deformations of the
human tibialis anterior (TA) muscle during dynamic movements using 3D ultrasound …
