Atherosclerotic plaque ultrasound video encoding, wireless transmission, and quality assessment using H.264
(2011)
We propose a unifying framework for efficient encoding, transmission, and quality assessment of atherosclerotic plaque ultrasound video. The approach is based on a spatially varying encoding scheme, where video-slice ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
Texture-based classification of atherosclerotic carotid plaques
(2003)
There are indications that the morphology of atherosclerotic carotid plaques, obtained by high-resolution ultrasound imaging, has prognostic implications. The objective of this study was to develop a computer-aided system ...
Video segmentation of the common carotid artery intima media complex
(2012)
The correct identification of the intima-media thickness (IMT) of the common carotid artery (CCA) walls has a high clinical relevance as it represents one of the most reliable predictor for future cardiovascular events. ...
Multiscale amplitude-modulation frequency-modulation (AMFM) texture analysis of multiple sclerosis in brain MRI images
(2011)
This study introduces the use of multiscale amplitude modulation-frequency modulation (AM-FM) texture analysis of multiple sclerosis (MS) using magnetic resonance (MR) images from brain. Clinically, there is interest in ...
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 ultrasound video
(2014)
The robust border identification of atherosclerotic carotid plaque, the corresponding degree of stenosis of the common carotid artery (CCA), and also the characteristics of the arterial wall, including plaque size, ...
Quantitative texture analysis of brain white matter lesions derived from T2-weighted MR images in MS patients with clinically isolated syndrome
(2015)
Introduction: This study investigates the application of texture analysis methods on brain T2-white matter lesions detected with magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) for the prognosis of future disability in subjects diagnosed ...
