Tracking Carotid Artery Wall Motion Using an Unscented Kalman Filter and Data Fusion

Analyzing the motion of the common carotid artery (CCA) wall yields effective indicators for atherosclerosis. In this work, we propose a state-space model and a tracking method for estimating the time-varying CCA wall radius from a B-mode ultrasound sequence of arbitrary length. We employ an unscent...
