- Abstract:
- The paper describes an improved low-cost add-on measurement system for the 3-D analysis of carotid arteries. The system locates in the 3-D space the contours of vessel walls extracted from a series of 2-D acquisitions, thanks to the measurement of the geometrical parameters of the ultrasonic probe positions and orientations. Features of the proposed system include the possibility to realize free-hand measurements, to work with the desired number of images and to process both normal B-mode and Power-angio images. In the paper, the realized prototype will be described and its operation will be detailed and characterized both for the software and the hardware prototype.
