Will Henson's Mechanical Engineering PhD student presentation

The aim of Will’s research is to automate the process of segmentation (the isolation and characterisation of individual muscles within the human body from medical imaging data). Automation will allow fast, operator-independent quantification and characterisation of muscles. This research will contribute to the clinical understanding of age related muscle disorders such as sarcopenia which affect mobility.
