Automatic measurement of instantaneous changes in the walls of carotid artery with sequential ultrasound images
Introduction: This study presents a computerized analyzing method for detection of instantaneous changes of far and near walls of the common carotid artery in sequential ultrasound images by applying the maximum gradient algorithm. Maximum gradient was modified and some characteristics were added from the dynamic programming algorithm for our applications. Methods: The algorithm was evaluat...
متن کاملCarotid doppler ultrasound evaluation in patients with lichen planus
Background: Lichen planus is a chronic inflammatory disease associated with an increased risk of subclinical atherosclerosis and cardiovascular diseases. This study aimed to evaluate patients with lichen planus using carotid Doppler ultrasound parameters.Methods: Forty patients with lichen planus and 40 controls were included in this study. Common carotid...
متن کاملMeasurement variability in duplex scan assessment of carotid atherosclerosis.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE The reproducibility of duplex scan measures of carotid atherosclerosis was evaluated as part of a study assessing the prevalence of carotid disease in elderly adults. METHODS Doppler measures of blood flow velocity were used to evaluate disease severity, and extent of carotid plaque was scored from the B-mode image. A reader assigned a grade from 0 to 3 to each of seven...
متن کاملMeasurement of carotid plaque volume by 3-dimensional ultrasound.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Measurement of carotid plaque volume and its progression are important tools for research and patient management. In this study, we investigate the observer variability in the measurement of plaque volume as determined by 3-dimensional (3D) ultrasound (US). We also investigate the effect of interslice distances (ISD) and repeated 3D US scans on measurement variability. Ma...
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...
