The measurement of the Intima Media Thickness (IMT) have a clinical relevance in accordance with cardiovascular disease. Fully automatic algorithm is developed for the test of arterial wall thickening and for automatic measurement, tracking and segmentation of the Intima Media Complex (IMC) in B-mode ultrasound video sequences. The Adaptive Normalized Correlation (ANC) algorithm has two stage of operation, first the segmentation of the arterial wall and next the tracking of the IMT layer with the measurement.
