The aim of the presented paper is to give a review of the classification of atherosclerotic
plaques between two different input values; using computer image analysis and a visual
assessment by an experienced sonographer. In the case of computer analysis, the
echogenicity index (Echo-Index) is used.
In the case of visual assessment, echogenicity of the plaques have been evaluated from
histological patterns. In the case of computer image analysis, B-images have been
processed. To computer image analysis, our developed software B-Mode Assist has
been used. For this study, totally of 278 images were analyzed. The plaques were
classified into four echogenicity classes by an experienced sonographer. Meanwhile, the
images were analyzed by two non-experienced observers using B-Mode Assist software
designed for echogenicity index evaluation in B-images. According to the echogenicity
index value, images were also classified into 4 classes.
The main goal was to observe how many images were classified to the same class using
visual assessment and using Echo-Index from ultrasound B-image. Achieved results
from initial study showed there is no significant marker for reliable classification the
plaques in B-images.
