A Comparison of Ultrasound Intima-Media Thickness Measurements of the Left and Right Common Carotid Artery
(2015)The intima-media thickness (IMT) of the common carotid artery (CCA) is an established indicator of cardiovascular disease (CVD). There have been reports about the difference between the left and the right sides of the CCA ...

Article
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 ...

Article
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 ...

Serum total homocysteine, folate, 5,10-methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR) 677C→T genotype and subclinical atherosclerosis
(2009)Objective : To determine the relationship of serum total homocysteine (tHcy), serum folate and 5,10-methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR) 677C→T genotype with ultrasonic arterial wall measurements associated with ...

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 ...
