This study introduces a fast, automated algorithm for detecting carotid arteries in CT scans, significantly reducing manual analysis time. The novel method achieves 88% detection accuracy, offering promising results for efficient medical imaging analysis.

Area of Science:

  • Medical Imaging
  • Computer-Aided Diagnosis
  • Vascular Imaging

Background:

  • Manual analysis of CT datasets is time-consuming.
  • Automated methods are needed for efficient carotid artery segmentation and centerline detection.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop and evaluate a novel, fast, and automatic initialization algorithm for carotid artery detection in CT datasets.
  • To provide a fully automated approach for carotid artery segmentation and centerline detection.

Main Methods:

  • Volume of Interest (VOI) estimation using a shoulder landmark.
  • Circular Hough transform for carotid artery detection in axial slices.
  • 3D, direction-dependent hierarchical clustering for signal selection in Hough space.
  • Feedback architecture to accommodate varying vessel diameters.

Main Results:

  • The algorithm was trained on 20 patient datasets and validated on 31.
  • The automated detection algorithm, including VOI estimation, achieved 88% accuracy in detecting carotid arteries.
  • Promising results were observed, although not all carotid arteries were detected.

Conclusions:

  • The developed algorithm offers a significant advancement in automating carotid artery detection from CT scans.
  • The approach reduces analysis time and shows high potential for clinical application.
  • Further optimization may improve detection rates for all carotid arteries.
