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

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

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 …

In this paper, we report on a semi-automatic approach to segmentation of carotid arteries
from 3D ultrasound (US) images. Our method uses a deformable model which first is rapidly …

The analysis of the carotid wall is of paramount importance in clinical practice. In fact, the
intima-media thickness is a risk index for some of the most severe acute cerebrovascular …

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 …

Carotid atherosclerosis is a major cause of stroke. Imaging and monitoring plaque
progression in 3D can better classify disease severity and potentially identify plaque …

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

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 …

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 …
