- Abstract
The article discusses the use of diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) to characterize the architecture of the supraspinatus and infraspinatus muscles in the shoulder. The authors propose a new method that captures myocyte orientation using anatomical points as landmarks, allowing for the quantification of spatial patterns of myocyte angulation. The study shows that trained shoulders have different spatial patterns of myocyte orientation compared to untrained shoulders, suggesting that muscle fibers remodel in response to exercise. While the new method is computationally less intense and requires less user interaction compared to fiber quantification, further research is needed to determine its clinical utility and its ability to detect structural changes in the muscle. Both fiber tracking/quantification and pixel-level myocyte orientation are promising approaches to studying skeletal muscle architecture, with each method providing unique information.
