Marcinkevics and K.Volceka}, country = {}, institution = {}, abstract = {The cardiovascular system has become the most important subject of clinical research, particularly measurement of arterial blood flow. Therefore correct determination of arterial diameter is crucial. We propose a novel, semi-automatic method for artery lumen detection. The method is based on Gaussian probability function. Usability of our proposed method was assessed by analyzing ultrasound B-mode CFA video sequences acquired from eleven healthy volunteers. The correlation coefficient between the manual and semi-automatic measurement of arterial diameter was 0.996. Our proposed method for detecting artery boundary is novel and accurate enough for the measurement of artery diameter.}, journal = {International Journal of Biomedical and Biological Engineering}, volume = {4}, number = {9}, year = {2010}, pages = {472 - 474}, ee = {https://publications.waset.org/pdf/1817}, url = {https://publications.waset.org/vol/45}, bibsource = {https://publications.waset.org/}, issn = {eISSN: 1307-6892}, publisher = {World Academy of Science, Engineering and Technology}, index = {Open Science Index 45, 2010}, }
