Purpose Rupture of an arterosclerotic plaque in the carotid artery is a major cause of stroke.
Biomechanical analysis of plaques is under development aiming to aid the clinician in the …

Visualizing and analyzing the morphological structure of carotid bifurcations are important
for understanding the etiology of carotid atherosclerosis, which is a major cause of stroke …

Purpose Vessel lumen centerline extraction is important for intraoperative tracking of
abdominal vessels and guidance of endovascular instruments. Three-dimensional …

We propose a novel, physics-based method for detecting multi-scale tubular features in
ultrasound images. The detector is based on a Hessian-matrix eigenvalue method, but …

An automated method for registering B-mode ultrasound (US) and magnetic resonance
imaging (MRI) of the carotid arteries is proposed. The registration uses geometric features …

Purpose: To introduce a semiautomatic algorithm to perform the registration of free‐hand B‐
Mode ultrasound (US) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the carotid artery …

A computer-implemented method for medical device modeling includes accessing an
electronic definition for a model of a three-dimensional item and an electronic definition of a …

Centerline extraction of the carotid artery in MRI is important to analyze the artery geometry
and to provide input for further processing such as registration and segmentation. The …

Atherosclerosis is among the leading causes of death and disability. Combining information
from multi-modal vascular images is an effective and efficient way to diagnose and monitor …
