P64 Carotid Artery Tracking with Automated Wall Position Resets Yields Robust Distension Waveforms in Long-term Ultrasonic Recordings

Background: Carotid artery tracking has high clinical relevance for the investigation of arterial stiffness indicators like Pulse Wave Velocity (PWV). However, current tracking systems are unreliable and/or not fully automated [1,2]. In this work we propose a novel wall tracking algorithm for long-t...
