New Publication

Congratulations to our colleagues Hannah Strohm, Jürgen Jenne, and Matthias Guenther and their co-authors for their publication on “Contraction assessment of abdominal muscles using automated segmentation designed for wearable ultrasound applications”.
Click here to open the publication.

In the now ending research project ULTRAWEAR they aimed at supporting physiotherapy by measuring activation a deep abdominal muscle – the Transversus Abdominis – on ultrasound images.

In the figure below you see the original ultrasound image with automatic segmentations of Obliquus Internus, Obliquus Externus, and Transversus Abdominis muscles. Below you find the classification results, which give a hint on correct or incorrect training of the patient who is supposed to contract the deep muscle during exercise.
ULTRAWEAR was funded by the Federal Ministry of Education and Research under Grant 01EC1906D
