Skeletal muscle architecture is a key determinant of function. Architectural properties such as fascicle length, pennation angle, and curvature can be characterized using Diffusion Tensor Imaging (DTI), but acquiring these data during contraction not currently feasible. However, an image registration-based strategy may able to convert architectural observed at rest their contracted state. As initial step toward this long-term objective, the aim study was determine if registration could used...

The internal arrangement of a muscle's fibers with respect to its mechanical line action (muscle architecture) is major determinant muscle function. Muscle architecture can be quantified using diffusion tensor magnetic resonance imaging-based tractography, which propagates streamlines from set seed points by integrating vectors that represent the direction greatest water (and inference, local fiber orientation). Previous work has demonstrated tractography outcomes are sensitive method for...
