Atherosclerotic plaque component segmentation in combined carotid MRI and CTA data incorporating class label uncertainty.

Atherosclerotic plaque composition can indicate plaque vulnerability. We segment atherosclerotic plaque components from the carotid artery on a combination of in vivo MRI and CT-angiography (CTA) data using supervised voxelwise classification. In contrast to previous studies the ground truth for tra...
