Automatic Segmentation of Common Carotid Artery in Longitudinal Mode Ultrasound Images Using Active Oblongs

We propose a fully automated algorithm for the segmentation of common carotid artery in longitudinal mode ultrasound images using active oblongs. The problem of segmentation and subsequent delineation of lumen-intima layer is solved as an optimization of a locally defined contrast function with resp…
