A Comparison of Ultrasound Intima-Media Thickness Measurements of the Left and Right Common Carotid Artery

A Comparison of Ultrasound Intima-Media Thickness Measurements of the Left and Right Common Carotid Artery

The intima-media thickness (IMT) of the common carotid artery (CCA) is an established indicator of cardiovascular disease (CVD). There have been reports about the difference between the left and the right sides of the CCA IMT and their relation with CVD. In this paper, we propose an automated system...
