- Tracking the myotendinous junction (MTJ) motion in consecutive ultrasound images is essential to assess muscle and tendon interaction and understand the mechanics' muscle-tendon unit and its pathological conditions during motion. However, the inherent speckle noises and ambiguous boundaries deter the reliable identification of MTJ, thus restricting their usage in human motion analysis. This study advances a fully automatic displacement measurement method for MTJ using prior shape knowledge on the Y-shape MTJ, precluding the influence of irregular and complicated hyperechoic structures in muscular ultrasound images. Our proposed method first adopts the junction candidate points using a combined measure of Hessian matrix and phase congruency, followed by a hierarchical clustering technique to refine the candidates approximating the position of the MTJ. Then, based on the prior knowledge of Y-shape MTJ, we finally identify the best matching junction points according to intensity distributions and directions of their branches using multiscale Gaussian templates and a Kalman filter. We evaluated our proposed method using the ultrasound scans of the gastrocnemius from 8 young, healthy volunteers. Our results present more consistent with the manual method in the MTJ tracking method than existing optical flow tracking methods, suggesting its potential in facilitating muscle and tendon function examinations with in vivo ultrasound imaging.
