[ 1 ] - Extraction of the Longitudinal Movement of the Carotid Artery Wall using Consecutive Ultrasonic Images: a Block Matching Algorithm

Introduction: In this study, a computer analysis method based on a block matching algorithm is presented to extract the longitudinal movement of the carotid artery wall using consecutive ultrasonic images. A window (block) is selected as the reference block in the first frame and the most similar block to the reference one is found in the subsequent frames. Material and Methods: The program was...
