Muscle Pennation Measured with DT-MRI 1 Quantitative Diffusion Tensor MRI-Based Fiber Tracking of Human Skeletal Muscle
Diffusion-tensor MRI (DT-MRI) offers great potential for understanding structure-function relationships in human skeletal muscles. The purposes of this study were to demonstrate the feasibility of using in vivo human DT-MRI fiber tracking data for making pennation angle measurements and to test the hypothesis that heterogeneity in the orientation of the tibialis anterior (TA) muscle’s aponeuros...

متن کاملDiffusion-Tensor MRI Based Skeletal Muscle Fiber Tracking.
A skeletal muscle's function is strongly influenced by the internal organization and geometric properties of its fibers, a property known as muscle architecture. Diffusion-tensor magnetic resonance imaging-based fiber tracking provides a powerful tool for non-invasive muscle architecture studies, has three-dimensional sensitivity, and uses a fixed frame of reference. Significant advances have b...
متن کاملDiffusion tensor MRI for the in vivo determination of skeletal muscle architecture in two ankle angles
Introduction: Mechanisms of force loss that occur during progressive muscular diseases are more and more studied using mouse models. Such diseases generally cause both a decrease in maximal tension and progressive muscle wasting, which may result in profound changes in muscle architecture. Muscle architecture is a main determinant of the mechanical behavior of skeletal muscle [1], and is charac...

INTRODUCTION Diffusion tensor MRI (DT-MRI) provides a discrete representation of the diffusion tensor field ofwater in living tissues. A graphical means to display the diffusion tensor field, '[\]is to construct diffusion ellipsoid maps or images (1). Moreover, from the diffusion tensor field, one can infer the fiber-tract direction field in some anisotropic tissues (1). 1n white matter and ske...
