Abstract

Body sizes and shapes vary widely, even among healthy adults, resulting in diverse muscle sizes, strengths, and performance capacities. This study developed an artificially intelligent (AI) algorithm to segment individual muscles and bones from whole body MRI scans of 102 healthy adults (49 males, 53 females) aged 18-50 yr, generating three-dimensional (3-D) segmentations of 70 muscles and 13 bone…
