Noninvasive ultrasound imaging of carotid plaques allows for the development of plaque-
image analysis methods associated with the risk of stroke. This paper presents several …

The motion of the common carotid artery (CCA) wall has been established to be useful in
early diagnosis of atherosclerotic disease. However, tracking the CCA wall motion from …

Anatomical variations of the internal carotid artery are diverse. Abnormalities in their
geometry and paths are commonly identified by ultrasonography and angiography. The …

Motion of the carotid artery wall is important for the quantification of arterial elasticity and
contractility and can be estimated with a number of techniques. In this paper, a framework for …

Cancer is a major public health problem across the globe due to which millions of deaths
occur every year. In the United States, prostate cancer is the second leading cause of cancer …

The in vitro replication of physiological mechanical conditioning through bioreactors plays a
crucial role in the development of functional Small-Caliber Tissue-Engineered Blood …

Motion of the carotid artery wall from sequences of ultrasound images has been promising in
providing useful indices characterizing elasticity of healthy and diseased arterial wall. The …

Examination of the common carotid artery (CCA) based on an ultrasound video sequence is
an effective method for detecting cardiovascular diseases. Here, we propose a video …

Analyzing the motion of the common carotid artery (CCA) wall yields effective indicators for
atherosclerosis. In this work, we propose a state-space model and a tracking method for …

Arterial wall motion estimation of the carotid artery is known to be extremely useful in the
diagnosis of atherosclerotic diseases. While several approaches have been developed for …
