| Abstract | Motion of the carotid artery wall is important for the quantification of arterial elasticity and contractility and can be estimated from sequences of B-mode ultrasound images. In the relatively few studies on the subject, block matching has been used to estimate displacements of selected areas of the arterial wall and of the atheromatous plaque. In this paper, we attempted a small study on the use and performance of three variations of block matching, namely forward-, backward- and combination-block-matching, in terms of estimating arterial wall motion. Simulated ultrasound image sequences, generated using (a) FIELD-II, an ultrasound simulation package and (b) a mathematical model of arterial wall displacement, were used. The warping index, defined as the mean geometric error in pixels between the true and recovered deformation, was used to evaluate the performance of the block matching techniques. Reasonably high values were obtained for all three cases; specifically, the warping index was 1.879 for forward-, 0.984 for backward- and 1.122 for combined block matching. In conclusion, block matching techniques are appropriate for estimating arterial wall motion from sequences of ultrasound images; backward tracking may be the preferred technique in such applications. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
