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 ...

Impact of head rotation on the individualized common carotid flow and carotid bifurcation hemodynamics
(2014)This paper aims at evaluating the changes that head rotation poses on morphological and flow characteristics of the carotid bifurcation (CB) and on the distribution of parameters that are regarded as important in atherosclerosis ...

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 ...

Media thickness measurement of the common carotid artery.
(2007)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 ...

Segmentation of the common carotid intima-media complex in ultrasound images using active contours
(2012)The segmentation of the intima-media complex (IMC) of the common carotid artery (CCA) wall is important for the evaluation of the intima media thickness (IMT) on B-mode ultrasound (US) images. The IMT is considered an ...

Snakes based segmentation of the common carotid artery intima media
(2007)Ultrasound measurements of the human carotid artery walls are conventionally obtained by manually tracing interfaces between tissue layers. In this study we present a snakes segmentation technique for detecting the ...

Ultrasound image texture analysis of the intima and media layers of the common carotid artery and its correlation with age and gender
(2009)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 composition and texture of ...
