Automated measurement of mean wall thickness in the common carotid artery by MRI: a comparison to intima-media thickness by B-mode ultrasound.
PURPOSE To determine whether the mean wall thickness (MWT) of the common carotid artery (CCA) measured by MRI is comparable to B-mode ultrasound (US) measurement of the intima-media thickness (IMT), an established marker of cardiovascular risk. MATERIALS AND METHODS As part of the two-year ORION trial, 43 patients with 16-79% stenosis by duplex US underwent high-resolution MRI and B-mode US e...
متن کاملAutomated identification of Intima Media Thickness in Ultrasound Artery Images
In this paper presents identification of intima media thickness (IMT) in common carotid Artery ultrasound video sequence. It is fully using automatic segmentation, these are based on unsupervised manner. The aim of this study introduces a novel unsupervised Computer Aided Detection (CAD) Algorithm that is able to identify and measure the IMT in 2D ultrasound carotid images. The developed techni...
متن کاملAn update on carotid ultrasound measurement of intima-media thickness.
Coronary atherosclerosis is a chronic, multifactorial disease process. Some individuals with atherosclerosis receive treatment in the form of mechanical or pharmacologic interventions after an acute event has occurred. Others receive treatment in the form of risk factor-based systemic intervention, the effectiveness of which is assessed by its ability to prevent an acute event. Surrogate endpoi...
متن کاملIndividual measurement and significance of carotid intima, media, and intima-media thickness by B-mode ultrasonographic image processing.
OBJECTIVE We assessed the clinical significance of intima (IT), media (MT), and intima-media (IMT) thickness of the common carotid artery using B-mode ultrasonographic image processing. METHODS AND RESULTS One hundred seventy consecutive patients underwent common carotid artery scanning using high-resolution ultrasonography. A total of 150 patients could be analyzed off-line using ultrasonogr...
متن کاملArterial wall thickness in familial hypercholesterolemia. Ultrasound measurement of intima-media thickness in the common carotid artery.
B-mode ultrasound was used to noninvasively determine wall thickness and lumen diameter in the common carotid artery in patients with familial hypercholesterolemia (n = 53) and in a control group (n = 53). The controls were matched for sex, age, height, and weight, and all had a serum cholesterol level below 6.5 mmol/l. The study was performed to evaluate whether the patients had a thicker arte...
