Cardiovascular diseases (CVD), as the leading cause of death in the world, poses a serious
threat to human health. The segmentation of carotid Lumen-intima interface (LII) and Media …

Segmentation of carotid intima-media (IM) borders from ultrasound sequences is
challenging because of unknown image noise and varying IM border morphologies and/or …

Many applications in biomedical imaging have a demand on automatic detection of lines,
contours, or boundaries of bones, organs, vessels, and cells. Aim is to support expert …

Epidemiological studies reveal that anatomical changes of carotid artery due to deposition of
fatty lesions are effective signs of cardiovascular diseases. Ultrasound imaging modality …

Purpose: Automatic measurement of the intima‐media thickness (IMT) from ultrasound
carotid images is an important task in clinical diagnosis. Many computer‐based techniques …

Carotid plaque segmentation in B-mode ultrasound (BMUS) and contrast-enhanced
ultrasound (CEUS) is crucial to the assessment of plaque morphology and composition …

Endoscopic ultrasonography (EUS) has shown great advantages in the diagnosis and
staging of gastrointestinal malignant tumors. However, EUS based diagnosis is limited by …

Segmentation of carotid intima-media (IM) borders from ultrasound images is of great
importance for predicting cardiovascular risks. In this paper, we have developed a fully …

A new approach for robust edge detection on B-mode ultrasound images of the carotid
artery is proposed in this paper. The proposed method uses anisotropic Gaussian derivative …

To segment regions of interest (ROIs) from ultrasound images, one novel dynamic texture
