      Atherosclerotic carotid plaque segmentation 

      Loizou, Christos P.; Pattichis, Constantinos S.; Istepanian, Robert Sh Habib; Pantzaris, Marios C.; Nicolaïdes, Andrew N. (2004)
      Atherosclerosis is the major cause of heart attack and stroke in the western world. In this paper we present a computerized method for segmenting the athrerosclerotic carotid plaque from ultrasound images. The method uses ...
