Title
Continuous thickness measurement of rectus femoris muscle in ultrasound image sequences: A completely automated approach.
Abstract
•We propose a novel method to continuously detect the muscle thickness automatically in ultrasound images.•The correlation coefficient of the detection results between the proposed method and manual method is 0.95±0.01, and the difference is −0.05±0.22mm, with linear aggression (R2=0.981).•We provide an accurate, high repeatable and efficient approach for estimating fascicle thickness during human motion.•The method has wide application in biological sciences.
