I'm doing a project on cardiac ultrasound (Echocardiography) and now I'm looking for an algorithm for segmentation. Could you please help me about the Matlab code for segmentation in ultrasound images? Thank you in advance

Dear Image Analyst,

I am working on ct images so as to get the carotid artery separated out.

While writing matlab codes, I feel difficulty in edge detection and region based segmentation to segment carotid artery.

please help me to proceed with matlab codes

Thanks in advance

[Image Analyst]

Sorry I don't have any code for that. Check Vision Bibliography or PubMed for articles that describe how to do it. Or look in the File Exchange for filters like Hessian, Frangi, or COSFIRE-B.

Is there segmentation matlab code for intima media thickness.

[Image Analyst]

Perhaps. Did youi search pubmed? Or the link in my answer?
