      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 ...
