Comparative evaluation of despeckle filtering in ultrasound imaging of the carotid artery
(2005)It is well-known that speckle is a multiplicative noise that degrades the visual evaluation in ultrasound imaging. The recent advancements in ultrasound instrumentation and portable ultrasound devices necessitate the need ...

An integrated system for the segmentation of atherosclerotic carotid plaque
(2007)In this paper, we propose and evaluate an integrated system for the segmentation of atherosclerotic plaque in ultrasound imaging of the carotid artery based on normalization, speckle reduction filtering, and four different ...
