MRI-Based 3D Shape Analysis of Thigh Muscles:
نویسندگان
چکیده
a do Rationale and Objective: Because lower limb muscles differ in architecture and function, the systemic effects of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and related disuse may result in regional abnormalities. The purpose of this study was to investigate the differences between patients with COPD and healthy controls in three-dimensional shape and size measurements of individual thigh muscles.

3D Shape Analysis of the Knee Extensor and Flexor Muscles in Patients with COPD using Mesh Projection-based Features
Loss of muscle mass in severe chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) increases the risk of mortality more than ten-fold compared to those with mild disease. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) has been used as a valid, reliable and non-invasive tool to investigate the changes in muscle mass in people with COPD. Using MR images to perform 3D shape analysis of thigh muscles, we extended and ap...

The image recognotion and the classification of objects according to the images are more in focus of interests, especially in medicine. A mathematical procedure allows us, not only to evaluate the amount of data per se, but also ensures that each image is pro- cessed similarly. Here in this study, we propose the power of shape analysis, in conjunction with neural networks for reducing white n...

متن کاملEffect of exercise intervention on thigh muscle volume and anatomical cross-sectional areas--quantitative assessment using MRI.
The objective of this study was to evaluate the location-specific magnitudes of an exercise intervention on thigh muscle volume and anatomical cross-sectional area, using MRI. Forty one untrained women participated in strength, endurance, or autogenic training for 12 weeks. Axial MR images of the thigh were acquired before and after the intervention, using a T1-weighted turbo-spin-echo sequence...
