Improved Spontaneous Activity Maps of Resting Skeletal Musculature by surface EMG-based Contraction Pattern Classification
{Reliable assessment and analysis of spontaneous mechanical activities in musculature (SMAM) visible in repetitive DWI is a relatively new technique for non-invasive characterization of skeletal musculature. To correct for data corrupted by intentional contractions, a surface electromyography-based contraction state analysis was investigated to reject undesired DWI data. It is demonstrated that the presented method enables a more reliable quantification of SMAMs and improved spontaneous activity maps.}
