Segmentation of carotid artery lumen in two‐dimensional and three‐dimensional
ultrasonography is an important step in computerized evaluation of arterial disease severity …

Segmentation of carotid artery lumen in 2D and 3D ultrasonography is an important step in
evaluating arterial disease severity and finding vulnerable artherosclerotic plaques …

We have developed an automated segmentation method for three-dimensional vascular
ultrasound images. The method consists of two steps: an automated initial contour …

Purpose B-mode ultrasound images are used in identifying the presence of fat deposit if any
in carotid artery. The intima media, lumen, bifurcation boundary is detected by the echogenic …

In this paper, we report on a semiautomatic method for segmentation of three‐dimensional
(3D) carotid vascular ultrasound (US) images. Our method is based on a dynamic balloon …

Purpose Rupture of an arterosclerotic plaque in the carotid artery is a major cause of stroke.
Biomechanical analysis of plaques is under development aiming to aid the clinician in the …

The analysis of the carotid artery wall is crucial for the diagnosis of serious cardiovascular
pathologies or for the assessment of a subject's cardiovascular risk. Several algorithms have …

A new algorithm is proposed for the semi-automatic segmentation of the near-end and the
far-end adventitia boundary of the common carotid artery in ultrasound images. It uses the …

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 …

The determination of the wall thickness [intima–media thickness (IMT)], the delineation of the
atherosclerotic carotid plaque, the measurement of the diameter in the common carotid …
