      Ultrasound imaging media layer texture analysis of the carotid artery 

      Loizou, Christos P.; Pantzaris, Marios C.; Nicolaïdes, Andrew N.; Spanias, Andreas S.; Pattichis, Marios S.; Pattichis, Constantinos S. (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 ...
