PURPOSE: Manual reconstruction (MR) of the vastus lateralis (VL) muscle cross sectional area (CSA) from sequential ultrasound (US) images is accessible, reproducible and has concurrent validity with magnetic resonance imaging. However, this technique requires numerous controls and procedures during image acquisition and reconstruction, making it laborious and time-consuming. The aim of this study was to determine the concurrent validity of VL CSA assessments between MR and computer vision-based automatic reconstruction (AR) of CSA from sequential images of the VL obtained by US...
