Studies on Microcapsule Wall Thickness

Left Ventricular Wall Thickness Determined

Left ventricula wall thickness (LVWT) was measured by ultrasound in 100 subjects without heart disease. The data on both diastolic (LVWT,) and systolic (LVWT,) thickness were related to sex, age, weight, height, heart volume (HV), and ECG voltage criteria. LVWT, was greater in men (P<0.01) but LVWT, was of the same magnitude in both sexes. In both sexes LVWT, and LVWT, increased with age (P<0.0...

Segmentation Challenge on the Quantification of Left Atrial Wall Thickness

This paper presents an image database for the Left Atrial Wall Thickness Quantification challenge at the MICCAI STACOM 2016 workshop along with some preliminary results. The image database consists of both CT (n = 10) and MRI (n = 10) datasets. Expert delineations from two observers were obtained for each image in the CT set and a single-observer segmentation was obtained for each image in the ...

Impact of exercise training on arterial wall thickness in humans

Thickening of the carotid artery wall has been adopted as a surrogate marker of pre-clinical atherosclerosis, which is strongly related to increased cardiovascular risk. The cardioprotective effects of exercise training, including direct effects on vascular function and lumen dimension, have been consistently reported in asymptomatic subjects and those with cardiovascular risk factors and disea...
