Major Field of Science: | Engineering and Technology | Field Category: | Medical Engineering | Keywords: | Ultrasound images;Despeckled images;Carotid artery;Intima media thickness | Issue Date: | Jul-2004 | Source: | X Mediterranean Conference on Medical and Biological Engineering, 2004, 31 July-5 August, Naples, Italy | Conference: | Mediterranean Conference on Medical and Biological Engineering and Computing | Abstract: | In this study we present a new automatic segmentation technique for detecting the intima-media layer of the far wall of the common carotid artery in longitudinal ultrasound images, by applying snakes after image normalization and despeckling. We have tested and validated our segmentation technique on 100 images using the visual interpretation results and manual measurements by two vascular specialists. Results showed that no significant difference was found between the manual and the automatic segmentation measurements. Better segmentation results were obtained for the normalized despeckled images. | URI: | https://hdl.handle.net/20.500.14279/23667 | Rights: | Attribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivatives 4.0 International | Type: | Conference Papers | Affiliation : | Intercollege University of Cyprus Kingston University Cyprus Institute of Neurology and Genetics |
