Computer-assisted analysis of human upper arm flexion by 4D-visualization based on MRI

4D-visualization of the human upper arm based on sequential or dynamic MRI may be useful in functional orthopedic disorders and surgical planning. A cascade of 4D-visualization approaches have been applied including deformation of the soft tissue surfaces and muscular contraction. Skeletal structures and the epifascial tissue comprising vascular structures are included in the 4D-visualization
