The goal of this work is to perform a segmentation of the intimamedia thickness (IMT) of
carotid arteries in view of computing various dynamical properties of that tissue, such as the …

The goal of this paper is to perform a segmentation of atherosclerotic plaques in view of
evaluating their burden and to provide boundaries for computing properties such as the …

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 …

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 …

For asymptomatic patients suffering from carotid stenosis, the assessment of plaque
morphology is an important clinical task which allows monitoring of the risk of plaque rupture …

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

The full segmentation of the common carotid artery (CCA) in ultrasound images is important
for the evaluation of the intima media thickness (IMT) and for the measurement of the artery …

A novel algorithm is proposed for the segmentation of the lumen and bifurcation boundaries
of the carotid artery in B-mode ultrasound images. It uses the image contrast characteristics …

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

Ultrasonic measurements of human carotid and femoral artery walls are conventionally
obtained by manually tracing interfaces between tissue layers. The drawbacks of this …
