AM-FM texture image analysis of the intima and media layers of the carotid artery
(2009)The purpose of this paper is to propose the use of amplitude modulation-frequency modulation (AM-FM) features for describing atherosclerotic plaque features that are associated with clinical factors such as intima media ...

Atherosclerotic carotid wall segmentation in ultrasound images using Markov random fields
(2010)This work explores the segmentation of the intima-media complex (IMC) of the common carotid artery (CCA) wall for the evaluation of the intima media thickness (IMT) on B-mode ultrasound images. The IMT provides important ...

Article
A Comparison of Ultrasound Intima-Media Thickness Measurements of the Left and Right Common Carotid Artery
(2015)The intima-media thickness (IMT) of the common carotid artery (CCA) is an established indicator of cardiovascular disease (CVD). There have been reports about the difference between the left and the right sides of the CCA ...

Completely automated multiresolution edge snapper (CAMES): A new technique for an accurate carotid ultrasound IMT measurement and its validation on a multi-institutional database
(2011)Since 2005, our research team has been developing automated techniques for carotid artery (CA) wall segmentation and intima-media thickness (IMT) measurement. We developed a snake-based technique (which we named CULEX 1,2), ...

Completely automated multiresolution edge snapper-A new technique for an accurate carotid ultrasound IMT measurement: Clinical validation and benchmarking on a multi-institutional database
(2012)The aim of this paper is to describe a novel and completely automated technique for carotid artery (CA) recognition, far (distal) wall segmentation, and intima-media thickness (IMT) measurement, which is a strong clinical ...

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

A fully automated method using active contours for the evaluation of the intima-media thickness in carotid US images
(2011)The thickness of the intima-media complex (IMC) of the common carotid artery (CCA) wall is important in the evaluation of the risk for the development of atherosclerosis. This paper presents a fully automated algorithm for ...

Article
Manual and automated intima-media thickness and diameter measurements of the common carotid artery in patients with renal failure disease
(2014)The objective of this study was to investigate differences in intima-media thickness (IMT) and diameter (D) measurements of the common carotid artery (CCA) in ultrasound imaging in normal subjects and renal failure disease ...

Manual and automated media and intima thickness measurements of the common carotid artery
(2009)The intima-media thickness (IMT) of the common carotid artery (CCA) is widely used as an early indicator of the development of cardiovascular disease (CVD). It was proposed but not thoroughly investigated that the media ...

Multiscale amplitude-modulation frequency-modulation (AM-FM) texture analysis of ultrasound images of the intima and media layers of the carotid artery
(2011)The intima-media thickness (IMT) of the common carotid artery (CCA) is widely used as an early indicator of cardiovascular disease (CVD). Clinically, there is strong interest in identifying how the composition and texture ...

Texture analysis of the media-layer of the left and right common carotid artery
(IEEE Computer Society, 2014)The intima-media thickness (IMT) of the common carotid artery (CCA) is a well-known indicator of cardiovascular disease (CVD). The objective of this study was to investigate the application of texture analysis of the medial ...

Ultrasound imaging media layer texture analysis of the carotid artery
(2008)The intima-media thickness (IMT) of the common carotid artery (CCA) is widely used as an early indicator of cardiovascular disease (CVD). It was proposed but not thoroughly investigated that the media layer (ML), its ...

Article
Ultrasound intima-media thickness and diameter measurements of the common carotid artery in patients with renal failure disease
(2013)Although the intima-media thickness (IMT) of the common carotid artery (CCA) is an established indicator of cardiovascular disease (CVD), its relationship with renal failure disease (RFD) is not yet established. In this ...

Video segmentation of the common carotid artery intima media complex
(2012)The correct identification of the intima-media thickness (IMT) of the common carotid artery (CCA) walls has a high clinical relevance as it represents one of the most reliable predictor for future cardiovascular events. ...
