Last 10 years have witnessed the growth of many computer applications for the
segmentation of the vessel wall in ultrasound imaging. Epidemiological studies showed that …

Ultrasound image segmentation deals with delineating the boundaries of structures, as a
step towards semi-automated or fully automated measurement of dimensions or for …

Ultrasound (US) imaging exhibits considerable difficulties for medical visual inspection and
for development of automatic analysis methods due to speckle, which negatively affects the …

According to research, characteristics taken from ultrasound imaging may help with
atherosclerosis diagnosis and decision-making. Atherosclerosis is estimated by parameters …

The aim of this paper is to describe a novel and completely automated technique for carotid
artery (CA) recognition, far (distal) wall segmentation, and intima-media thickness (IMT) …

Quantitative ultrasound (QUS) imaging methods, including elastography, echogenicity
analysis, and speckle statistical modeling, are available from a single ultrasound (US) radio …

This paper proposes a computer-aided diagnosis tool for the early detection of
atherosclerosis. This pathology is responsible for major cardiovascular diseases, which are …

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 …

Atherosclerosis is responsible for a large proportion of cardiovascular diseases (CVD),
which are the leading cause of death in the world. The atherosclerotic process is a complex …

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 …
