Computationally efficient algorithm for the estimation of the intimamedia thickness of the common carotid artery
In this paper we propose a new computationally efficient algorithm for automatic estimation of intima and media boundary of common carotid artery (CCA) based on ultrasound (USG) image analysis. The intima-media thickness (IMT), equal to distance between intima and media boundary, is typically used to predict cardiovascular events like myocardial infarction and stroke. At present, it is measured...
متن کاملAssociation of carotid intima-media thickness with the presence and severity of coronary artery disease.
OBJECTIVE To examine, prospectively, whether the intima-media thickness (IMT) of the common carotid artery and the overlying plaque predicts the presence and severity of coronary artery events. METHODS Two hundred and one consecutive patients (100 men and 101 women), who had recently undergone coronary angiography in Tabriz University of Medical Sciences, were enrolled in the study carried ou...
متن کاملcarotid artery intima-media thickness in patients undergoing coronary artery bypass graft surgery
conclusions high prevalence of the increased cimt in patients undergoing cabg highlights the significance of cimt measurement in early diagnosis of the systemic atherosclerosis. moreover, although traditional cardiovascular risk factors were important they could not explain the extension and the severity of cimt. it seems that some ultrasonographic features such as the associated carotid plaque...
متن کاملCoronary artery calcium outperforms carotid artery intima-media thickness as a noninvasive index of prevalent coronary artery stenosis.
OBJECTIVE Increased carotid artery intima-media thickness (IMT) and increased coronary artery calcium (CAC) are noninvasive surrogate indices of prevalent coronary artery disease (CAD). We compared CAC to IMT for noninvasive detection of prevalent CAD in participants whose coronary status was identified by coronary angiography. METHODS AND RESULTS Male and female CAD patients (> or =50% steno...
متن کاملReport of a Variation of the Right Common Carotid Artery
Carotid artery is the most important artery that carries the major part of the blood supply to the head and neck. The branching of the common carotid artery usually occurs at the upper edge of the thyroid cartilage. The placement of carotid sinus has also increased its importance in this area. Considering the clinical importance of knowledge about carotid artery variations, this case is reporte...
