Extraction of instantaneous changes in arterial walls with sequential ultrasound images

Abstract

It is concluded that the new computerized analysis method is a reliable technique to assess instantaneous changes in the rabbit arterial wall in sequential B-mode images. The variability between different laboratories will be reduced if the same analysis program is used. By using this method, not only was variation in the results of manual tracing by several observers eliminated, but the duration of image processing was also considerably reduced.
