  • SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR MEASURING ARTERY THICKNESS USING ULTRASOUND IMAGING
    Publication number: 20170124701
    Abstract: A system and method for automating the selection of end-diastolic ultrasound frames (EUFs] and regions of interest (ROIs] of the common carotid artery (CCA] to measure the carotid intima-media thickness (CIMT] is provided. The EUFs are selected based on the QRS complex of the ECG signal associated with an ultrasound video, and the ROI is detected based on image intensity and curvature of the carotid artery bulb. The CIMT and a vascular age of a patient is calculated and displayed on a report.
