Carotid Wall Segmentation and Imt Measurement in Longitudinal Ultrasound Images Using Morphological Approach
We developed a completely automated technique for carotid wall segmentation and intima – media thickness (IMT) measurement in ultrasound images based on the watershed transform. Morphological operators are used to extract the foreground markers for performing marker-based watershed segmentation. The watershed basin containing the carotid artery is automatically extracted. The far wall of the ar...
متن کاملMODELING SURFACE TENSION AND WALL ADHESION IN MOLD FILLING PROCESS
Abstract: In this study an algorithm for mold-filling simulation with consideration of surface tension has been developed based on a SOLA VOF scheme. As the governing equations, the Navier-Stokes equations for incompressible and laminar flows were used. We proposed a way of considering surface tension in mold-filling simulation. The proposed scheme for surface tension was based on the conti...

متن کاملA state of the art review on intima-media thickness (IMT) measurement and wall segmentation techniques for carotid ultrasound
Last 10 years have witnessed the growth of many computer applications for the segmentation of the vessel wall in ultrasound imaging. Epidemiological studies showed that the thickness of the major arteries is an early and effective marker of onset of cardiovascular diseases. Ultrasound imaging, being real-time, economic, reliable, safe, and now seems to become a standard in vascular assessment m...
متن کاملIMT Measurement Of Common Carotid Artery Usingmodifiedsnake Contour Segmentation
A new method of segmentation of ultrasound Carotid Artery (CA) has been proposed. Atherosclerosis is the thickening and narrowing of the arteries due to formation of plaque on the walls of the artery. It is one of the major causes of stroke.Intima-media thickness (IMT) is now being considered as an indicator of atherosclerosis. CA segmentation is based on the improvised snake’s initialization m...
