Multifidus Muscle Volume Estimation Based on Three Dimensional Wavelet Multi Resolution Analysis: MRA with Buttocks Computer- Tomography: CT Images

Abstract

Multi-Resolution Analysis:. MRA based edge detection algorithm is proposed for estimation of volume of multifidus muscle in the Computer Tomography: CT scanned image The volume of multifidus muscle would be a good measure for metabolic syndrome rather than internal fat from a point of view from processing complexity. The proposed measure shows 0.178 of R square which corresponds to mutual correlation between internal fat and the volume of multifidus muscle. It is also fund that R square between internal fat and the other possible measures shows smaller than that of multifidus muscle.
