Description: Abstract—Noninvasive ultrasound imaging of carotid plaques
allows for the development of plaque-image analysis methods associated
with the risk of stroke. This paper presents several plaqueimage
analysis methods that have been developed over the past
years. The paper begins with a review of clinical methods for visual
classification that have led to standardized methods for image
acquisition, describes methods for image segmentation and denoizing,
and provides an overview of the several texture-feature
extraction and classification methods that have been applied. We
provide a summary of emerging trends in 3-D imaging methods
and plaque-motion analysis. Finally, we provide a discussion of the
emerging trends and future directions in our concluding remarks.
