Tracking of the Internal Jugular Vein in Ultrasound Images Using Optical Flow
Detection of relative changes in circulating blood volume is important to guide resuscitation and manage variety of medical conditions including sepsis, trauma, dialysis and congestive heart failure. Recent studies have shown that estimates of circulating blood volume can be obtained from ultrasound imagery of the of the internal jugular vein (IJV). However, segmentation and tracking of the IJV is significantly influenced by speckle noise and shadowing which introduce uncertainty in the boundaries of the vessel. In this paper, we investigate the use of optical flow algorithms for segmentation and tracking of the IJV and show that the classical Lucas-Kanade (LK) algorithm provides the best performance among well-known flow tracking algorithms.

Impact of PCA-based preprocessing and different CNN structures on deformable registration of sonograms
Central venous catheters (CVC) are commonly inserted into the large veins of the neck, e.g. the internal jugular vein (IJV). CVC insertion may cause serious complications like misplacement into an artery or perforation o…
