function muscle = muscleDegeneration(caseID,muscleName,HUThresholdMuscle,HUThresholdOsteochondroma,muscleDirectory)
%%MUSCLEDEGENERATION computes degeneration parameters from muscle contours
%
% This function returns muscle atrophy, fat infiltration, osteochondroma
% and degeneration values for a given muscle
%
% USE: muscleDegeneration(caseID,muscleName,HUThresholdMuscle,HUThresholdOsteochondroma,output)
%
% INPUT caseID: patient number
% muscleName: name of the rotator cuff muscle being measured (SS,IS, SC or TM)
% HUThresholdMuscle: HU threshold used for muscle segmentation (muscle-fat limit)
% HUThresholdMuscle:HU threshold used for osteochondroma segmentation (muscle-osteochondroma limit)
% muscleDirectory: Path to 'muscles' directory where contours and output images are stored
%
% OUTPUT muscle: structure containing fields 'atrophy', 'infiltration',
% 'osteochondroma' and 'degeneration'
%
% REMARKS An image of the segmentation of atrophied muscle, fat infiltration
% and osteochondroma is saved in muscles directory, in the
% 'muscleName' folder.

% MATLAB does not accept to threshold an image with a negative value, as is
% the case when using HU scale. CT scanners usually have a CT range from
% -1000 HU to 1000 HU or -2000 HU to 2000 HU for modern scanners. In this
% case, we're not using HU values lower than -1000 and higher than +1000 so
% all pixel intensity values of the input image< -1000 HU are set to -1000
% HU, and values > 1000 HU are set to 1000 HU. Then, the input image is
% mapped to the [0 1] range -1000->0 1000->1, as are the thresholds for
% muscle and osteochondroma.
