Example of axial fat-only images examining composition of the multifidus and semispinalis cervicis traversing the cervical spine. a) illustrates the cross-sectional area measure of the multifidus and semispinalis muscles in the mid-cervical region (C3) and b) illustrates the cross-sectional area measure of the multifidus and semispinalis muscles in the lower-cervical region (C7). c) illustrates the propagated volume of the multifidus and semispinalis cervicis spanning those vertebral levels.
