dc.description.abstractSegmentation of the carotid arteries is a prerequisite to image processing techniques that are applied to medical images to assess the features of atherosclerosis, a disease which can lead to ischemic stroke. Carotid artery segmentation is currently mainly done manually in a time-consuming processing. In this work deep learning approaches were applied to carotid artery segmentation. Additionally, the influence of image contrast on segmentation performance was explored, and whether a network could be taught to learn domain-invariant features including the use of adversarial methods. Non-adversarial and adversarial methods were successfully demonstrated.en_US
