Automated Segmental-IMT Measurement in Thin/Thick Plaque with Bulb Presence in Carotid Ultrasound from Multiple Scanners: Stroke Risk Assessment

Carotid intima-media thickness (cIMT) measurement is an acknowledged surrogate marker of atherosclerosis [1] and has the ability to predict future clinical cardiovascular end points [2,3]. Several measures of carotid intima-media thickness as predictors of cardiovascular events (CVEs) were demonstrated in [4].
