AbstractThe internal arrangement of a muscle's fibers with respect to its mechanical line of action (muscle architecture) is a major determinant of muscle function. Muscle architecture can be quantified using diffusion tensor magnetic resonance imaging-based tractography, which propagates streamlines from a set of seed points by integrating vectors that represent the direction of greatest water diffusion (and by inference, the local fiber orientation).
