Abstract
Disclosed is a system and method for a system and method for an image processing-based approach has been developed for in vivo quantification of tissue and body fluid kinematics when certain human movements, physical loads and physiological stresses are experienced. Due to the absence of artificial or physical markers in those tissues or fluids during typical imaging (ultrasound, CT-scan or MRI), a virtual marker displacement and deformation scheme has been developed to measure movement and strain of both tissues and body fluids.
