A New Computerized Measurement Approach of Carotid Artery Stenosis on Tomographic Image Sequence

The automated approach is recommended to measure the carotid stenosis by using axial image sequence. This technique is not only accurate as possible but also robust, simple to handle, and less time consuming as compared to manual measurements. In addition, a computerized carotid stenosis measuring method is necessary to overcome the drawbacks introduced by using the projectional image and measurement variability of inter-observer, intra-observer.
