Spine muscle auto segmentation techniques in MRI imaging: a systematic review.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The accurate segmentation of spine muscles plays a crucial role in analyzing musculoskeletal disorders and designing effective rehabilitation strategies. Various imaging techniques such as MRI have been utilized to acquire muscle images, but the segmentation process remains complex and challenging due to the inherent complexity and variability of muscle structures. In this systematic review, we investigate and evaluate methods for automatic segmentation of spinal muscles.

Methods

Data for this study were obtained from PubMed/MEDLINE databases, employing a search methodology that includes the terms 'Segmentation spine muscle' within the title, abstract, and keywords to ensure a comprehensive and systematic compilation of relevant studies. Systematic reviews were no
