Interactive Modelling of Volumetric Musculoskeletal Anatomy [PDF]
ACM Trans. Graph., Vol. 40, No. 4, Article 122. Publication date:
August 2021, 2021 We present a new approach for modelling musculoskeletal anatomy. Unlike previous methods, we do not model individual muscle shapes as geometric primitives (polygonal meshes, NURBS etc.). Instead, we adopt a volumetric segmentation approach where every point in our volume is assigned to a muscle, fat, or bone tissue.

Neuromuscular and Metabolic Responses during Repeated Bouts of Loaded Downhill Walking [PDF]
, 2023 The aim of this study was to compare vastus lateralis (VL) and rectus femoris (RF) muscles for their nervous and mechanical adaptations during two bouts of downhill walking (DW) with load carriage performed two weeks apart. Moreover, we investigated cardio-metabolic and perceived exertion responses during both DW bouts.

Semantic Segmentation Using Deep Learning to Extract Total Extraocular Muscles and Optic Nerve from Orbital Computed Tomography Images [PDF]
, 2020 Objectives: Precise segmentation of total extraocular muscles (EOM) and optic nerve (ON) is essential to assess anatomical development and progression of thyroid-associated ophthalmopathy (TAO). We aim to develop a semantic segmentation method based on deep learning to extract the total EOM and ON from orbital CT images in patients with suspected TAO ...
