Surface roughness detection of arteries via texture analysis of ultrasound images for early diagnosis of atherosclerosis.

There is a strong research interest in identifying the surface roughness of the carotid arterial inner wall via texture analysis for early diagnosis of atherosclerosis. The purpose of this study is to assess the efficacy of texture analysis methods for identifying arterial roughness in the early sta...
