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 …

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 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 …

Automatic segmentation of the carotid plaques from ultrasound images has been shown to
be an important task for monitoring progression and regression of carotid atherosclerosis …

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

The motion of the carotid atheromatous plaque relative to the adjacent wall may be related
to the risk of cerebral events. A quantitative method for motion estimation was applied to …

A semi-automatic method for segmentation of three-dimensional carotid vascular ultrasound
(US) images is presented. The method is based on a dynamic balloon model represented by …

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

In standard B-mode ultrasound (BMUS), segmentation of the lumen of atherosclerotic carotid
arteries and studying the lumen geometry over time are difficult owing to irregular lumen …

Atherosclerosis is the major cause of heart attack and stroke in the western world. In this
