Automatical Intima-Media Border Segmentation on Ultrasound Image Sequences Using a Kalman Filter Snake

Segmentation of carotid intima-media (IM) borders from ultrasound images is of great importance for predicting cardiovascular risks. In this paper, we have developed a fully automatic approach to sequentially segment the carotid IM borders in each image throughout ultrasound sequences. First, the fi...
