Dynamic Enhancement of B-Mode Cardiac Ultrasound Image Sequences.
Limited contrast, along with speckle and acoustic noise, can reduce the diagnostic value of echocardiographic images. This study introduces dynamic histogram-based intensity mapping (DHBIM), a novel approach employing temporal variations in the cumulative histograms of cardiac ultrasound images to contrast enhance the imaged structures. DHBIM is then combined with spatial compounding to compens...
متن کاملB-Mode-Detected Carotid Artery Plaque in a General Population
Background and Purpose There is little information on the distribution of atherosclerotic lesions of the extracranial carotid artery wall in free-living populations. The purpose of the present study was to describe the prevalence from 1987 through 1989 of extracranial carotid artery plaque and plaque with acoustic attenuation (shadowing) lesions in a general population of white and black adults...
متن کاملPreoperative B-mode ultrasound plaque appearance compared with carotid endarterectomy specimen histology.
In carotid artery stenosis both the degree of the lesion and its plaque morphology are thought to be associated with the carrier's thromboembolic risk. In this study we evaluated the diagnostic preciseness of non-invasively B-mode ultrasound in predicting the histopathological plaque structure. We examined 44 patients with > 50% ICA stenosis by B-mode within 6 weeks prior to carotid endarterect...
متن کاملCorrelation Between Ultrasound B-mode Images of Carotid Plaque and Histological Examination
This paper reports on a study on 69 patients where image features extracted from B-mode ultrasound images of atherosclerotic plaque in the carotid arteries were compared to histological results obtained from the same plaque after carotid endarterectomy. The study also investigated the correlation between image features and visual classification of the plaque appearance as revealed by ultrasound...
متن کاملInvestigation of Human Carotid Artery Wall and Atherosclerotic Plaque Mechanics Using B-mode Ultrasound
ABSTRACT Sequences of B-mode ultrasound images of human carotid arteries were analyzed to assess regional variations in the motion of the wall and atherosclerotic plaques on them. Measurement of the frame-by frame position of discrete speckle patterns enabled the estimation of both radial (circumferential) and axial (longitudinal) motion of the wall. Large differences could be observed between ...
