Ultrasound Common Carotid Artery Segmentation Based on Active Shape Model

<table>Sagittal cross-section of a common carotid artery (CCA) in 3D US image. The contours on the image show the manual delineations done by the physician. The inner boundary is lumen-intima boundary (LIB), and the outer boundary is the media-adventitia boundary (MAB). The segmentations were performed on parallel images with interslice distance (ISD) 1 mm.</table>
