      Atherosclerotic carotid plaque texture variability in ultrasound video 

      Loizou, Christos P.; Pantzaris, Marios C.; Nicolaïdes, Andrew N.; Pattichis, Constantinos S. (Springer Verlag, 2015)
      Ultrasound video of the common carotid artery (CCA) combined with texture feature analysis has the potential in differentiating between asymptomatic and symptomatic atherosclerotic carotid plaque and is used widely for the ...

      Despeckle filtering for multiscale amplitude-modulation frequency-modulation (AM-FM) texture analysis of ultrasound images of the intima-media complex 

      Loizou, Christos P.; Murray, V.; Pattichis, Marios S.; Pantzaris, Marios C.; Nicolaïdes, Andrew N.; Pattichis, Constantinos S. (2014)
      The intima-media thickness (IMT) of the common carotid artery (CCA) is widely used as an early indicator of cardiovascular disease (CVD). Typically, the IMT grows with age and this is used as a sign of increased risk of ...

      First and second order statistical texture features in carotid plaque image analysis: Preliminary results from ongoing research 

      Kyriacou, Efthyvoulos C.; Nicolaïdes, Andrew N.; Pattichis, Constantinos S.; Petroudi, Styliani; Pattichis, Marios S.; Griffin, Maura B.; Kakkos, Stavros K.; Makris, Gregory C. (2011)
      Carotid plaques have been associated with ipsilateral neurological symptoms. High-resolution ultrasound can provide information not only on the degree of carotid artery stenosis but also on the characteristics of the ...

      Global optimization for motion estimation with applications to ultrasound videos of carotid artery plaques 

      Murillo, S.; Pattichis, Marios S.; Soliz, P.; Barriga, S.; Loizou, Christos P.; Pattichis, Constantinos S. (2010)
      Motion estimation from digital video is an ill-posed problem that requires a regularization approach. Regularization introduces a smoothness constraint that can reduce the resolution of the velocity estimates. The problem ...

      Guest editorial cardiovascular health informatics: Risk screening and intervention 

      Hartley, C. J.; Naghavi, M.; Parodi, O.; Pattichis, Constantinos S.; Poon, C. C. Y.; Zhang, Y. -T (2012)
      Despite enormous efforts to prevent cardiovascular disease (CVD) in the past, it remains the leading cause of death in most countries worldwide. Around two-thirds of these deaths are due to acute events, which frequently ...

      High efficiency video coding for ultrasound video communication in m-health systems 

      Panayides, Andreas S.; Antoniou, Zinonas C.; Pattichis, Marios S.; Pattichis, Constantinos S.; Constantinides, Anthony G. (2012)
      Emerging high efficiency video compression methods and wider availability of wireless network infrastructure will significantly advance existing m-health applications. For medical video communications, the emerging video ...

      An integrated system for the segmentation of atherosclerotic carotid plaque 

      Loizou, Christos P.; Pattichis, Constantinos S.; Pantzaris, Marios C.; Nicolaïdes, Andrew N. (2007)
      In this paper, we propose and evaluate an integrated system for the segmentation of atherosclerotic plaque in ultrasound imaging of the carotid artery based on normalization, speckle reduction filtering, and four different ...

      An integrated system for the segmentation of atherosclerotic carotid plaque ultrasound video 

      Loizou, Christos P.; Petroudi, Styliani; Pantzaris, Marios C.; Nicolaïdes, Andrew N.; Pattichis, Constantinos S. (2014)
      The robust border identification of atherosclerotic carotid plaque, the corresponding degree of stenosis of the common carotid artery (CCA), and also the characteristics of the arterial wall, including plaque size, ...

      An integrated teleconsultation system for the evaluation of the risk of stroke 

      Kyriacou, Efthyvoulos C.; Pattichis, Constantinos S.; Christodoulou, Chris C.; Karaolis, Minas A.; Nicolaïdes, Andrew N. (Plymouth University, 2005)
      This paper describes the design and development of an integrated teleconsultation system for the estimation of the annual incidence of stroke related to carotid atherosclerotic plaque and the detection of high risk and low ...
