Manual measurements by two experts and automated segmentation measurements (based on snakes and active contour models (ACM)) were carried out on 73 normal subjects, and 80 RFD patients. Statistical analysis was carried out using the Wilcoxon rank-sum test at p<0.05. Results demonstrated that the mean IMT and D measurements were significantly higher for the RFD group versus the normal group. Moreover, there was no significant difference between the manual and automated measurements. The ACM segmentation was slightly more accurate than segmentation based on snakes. Further work is needed to validate these findings on a larger group of subjects. | URI: | https://hdl.handle.net/20.500.14279/9586 | ISSN: | 00104825 | DOI: | 10.1016/j.compbiomed.2014.08.003 | Rights: | © Elsevier | Type: | Article | Affiliation: | Intercollege Cyprus University of Technology Limassol General Hospital University of Cyprus Cyprus Institute of Neurology and Genetics |
