The Segmentation of Ultrasound Images for Artery Wall Detection and Intima-Media Thickness Measurement
Beneš, Radek ; Chromý,, Erik (referee) ; Dostál, Otto (referee) ; Říha, Kamil (advisor)
The thesis focuses on the measurement of intima media thickness, which seems to be a significant marker of the risk of cardiovascular events. Intima media thickness is measured in ultrasound image displaying the common carotid artery in its longitudinal section. In the longitudinal section the intima and media layers are visible. Thesis is discussing both technical and medical background and summarizes state of the art in this field. The main part of the thesis describes the novel automatic system for measurement of intima media thickness. Proposed system includes also robust method for artery localization and therefore is able to process raw B-mode data from ultrasound station without any initialization or manual preprocessing.
