Paper Abstract
Measuring the artery thickness can detect potential blockages in blood flow. Automating parts of the measurement
could improve both the accuracy and repeatability, leading to more consistent treatment. We develop a process for
extracting the artery boundaries from an ultrasound image, then consistently measuring the artery thickness. The measurements result in excellent agreement between computer-calculated values and expert measurements.
