Abstract :
Under the present circumstances, it is problematic to comprehend the connection and interaction between the human skeleton and the human muscle or between human muscles themselves. The authors aimed to develop a method to quantitatively visualize them in space and time sequential domains by utilizing computer graphic techniques and 4D imaging
