RESUMO
Muscle is one of the most important tissues of human body, which is distributed around various organs and bones. Skeletal muscle plays an important role in human activities and its functional changes are closely related to its own morphological structure. The study of the relationship between musculoskeletal structure and function can help us to understand the physiology basics of force and to guide clinical practices. Ultrasonography has been widely used in the research of muscle properties since it is real-time, fast, nonradiative and inexpensive. In recent years, there emerges various researches on image processing method for musculoskeletal ultrasonography, especially for dynamic ultrasonography. This paper presents a brief overview of the existing methods and key steps of ultrasound image processing of musculoskeletal.
