Abstract
Computer pattern recognition of carotid artery atherosclerosis has been implemented in dedicated systems. Accuracy is equivalent to that of an expert sonographer and is repeatable for different sonographers. The system uses algorithms which were systematically trained from a database of 318 cases having arteriographic confirmation, plus 88 asymptomatic normals. A software language was implemented to aid in maintaining the system.<>
