Abstract: An apparatus for use in analysing ultrasound image data of rectus abdominis muscles of a subject. The apparatus comprises a memory comprising instruction data representing a set of instructions, and a processor configured to communicate with the memory and to execute the set of instructions. The set of instructions, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to: obtain a sequence of ultrasound image data of the rectus abdominis muscles, the sequence of ultrasound image data having been obtained using an ultrasound transducer tilted at different angles to the surface of the skin of the subject and thus having different angles of ingress of the ultrasound waves into the skin. The processor is further caused to select ultrasound image data from the sequence of ultrasound image data, the selected ultrasound image data comprising image data in the sequence in which a region of the rectus abdominis muscle appears clearest compared to other image data in the sequence of ultrasound image data, and make a measurement of the rectus abdominis muscles in the selected ultrasound image data.

Abstract: :According to an aspect, there is provided an apparatus for use in processing image data relating to a subject, the apparatus comprising a memory comprising instruction data representing a set of instructions; and a processor configured to communicate with the memory and to execute the set of instructions, wherein the set of instructions, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to:responsive to receiving input indicating a point in an image corresponding to an anatomical feature or sub-feature, determine if sufficient points to perform a measurement have been received based on a comparison of anatomical features and/or sub-features corresponding to the indicated point and any other indicated points with pre-stored anatomical data, the pre-stored anatomical data indicating for at least one measurement the anatomical features and/or sub-features required to perform the at least one measurement; and if sufficient points to perform a measurement have been received, perform the measurement.

Abstract: A muscle imaging system that uses an ultrasound probe to image one or more muscles of a subject. A processing unit controls a driving mechanism to set a position of the ultrasound probe with respect to the subject. A position of the ultrasound probe, during an imaging process, is at least partly based upon a shape of the subject detected by a shape sensor.
