Bayes clustering and structural support vector machines for segmentation of carotid artery plaques in multicontrast MRI (Q1929581): Difference between revisions

Summary: Accurate segmentation of carotid artery plaque in MR images is not only a key part but also an essential step for in vivo plaque analysis. Due to the indistinct MR images, it is very difficult to implement the automatic segmentation. Two kinds of classification models, that is, Bayes clustering and SSVM, are introduced in this paper to segment the internal lumen wall of carotid artery. The comparative experimental results show the segmentation performance of SSVM is better than Bayes. Editorial remark: According to the retraction [ibid. 2014, Article ID 836280, 1 p. (2014; Zbl 1423.92136)], this article ``has been retracted upon the authors' request as it was found to include unreliable interpretation due to insufficient provision of studying materials.''
