Some muscle modeling techniques require exact knowledge of a muscles boundaries. However, hand-digitizing regions of interest of many slices is time consuming. The purpose of this study was to determine whether or not defining regions of interest and interpolating the masks in the intervening slices could produce accurate estimates of the muscle boundaries. The data presented will show that this approach is feasible and produces muscle boundaries that are not significantly different from hand-digitized masks.
