Abstract
Segmentation of coronary arterial lumen and wall boundaries in high-frequency echocardiographic (HFE) images has been hampered by operator bias and prolonged time required for manual segmentation methods. To overcome these problems, a two-part computer algorithm has been developed to aid HFE image segmentation. This algorithm is accurate when compared to manual methods and histologic data.<>
