In this study we present a generalized strategy for acquiring and post processing of in vivo skeletal muscle DTI data in order to correct and minimize the above complications. The approach is demonstrated with fiber tractography of skeletal muscle in five regions of the human body : lower back, pelvic floor, upper leg, forearm and masticator muscles.
