摘要：
Analysis of the movement of the common carotid artery (CCA) wall in ultrasound sequences can be used for diagnosis of many cardiovascular diseases. In this paper we introduce a method for localization of the CCA wall contour (approximated by a circle) inside an ultrasound image, which can be used in real-time applications for initialization of an artery wall tracking method. First we detect a rectangular region of interest (ROI) using a recently proposed method based on the Viola-Jones detector. Next we perform an exhaustive search over all possible circles inside the ROI. Circle which maximizes a particular criterion represents the final estimate. Experimental results on a dataset of 145 ultrasound images show that the method outperforms a reference method based on the Hough transform in terms of precision and misdetection rates.
