Abstract:
Purpose. The motion of the common carotid artery tissue layers along the vessel axis during the cardiac cycle, observed in ultrasound imaging, is associated with the presence of established cardiovascular risk factors. However, the vast majority of the (semi-)automatic methods devised to measure this so-called "longitudinal kinetics" phenomenon are based on the tracking of a single point, thus failing to capture the overall-and potentially inhomogeneous-motion of the entire arterial wall. The ai...     »
