Automatic Lumen Detection on Longitudinal Ultrasound B-Mode Images of the Carotid Using Phase Symmetry
Overview:
This project developed a method to improve the performance of previous approaches for the automatic detection of the common carotid artery (CCA) lumen ceterline on longitudinal B-mode ultrasound images.
Main Steps:
Candidate lumen detection:
- Symmetry map
- DP candidate detection
Lumen selection
- Feature-based selection
- Position-based heuristic
