TL;DR: A system for computing the brachial artery diameter in real-time by analyzing B-mode ultrasound images based on a robust edge detection algorithm which is used to automatically locate the two walls of the vessel.

TL;DR: A new system for the CIMT measurement that conjugates precision with real‐time analysis is developed, thus providing considerable advantages in clinical practice, and has been accepted as a noninvasive marker of early vascular alteration.

TL;DR: This review discusses the meaning of A- and B-Lines in the diagnostic ultrasound imaging of the lung and the acoustic properties of the pleural plane which are at the basis of their generation.

TL;DR: According to this view, it is not surprising that since 1997, vertical lung artifacts, commonly named B-lines, have been associated with pathologic conditions ranging from pulmonary edema to fibrosis, which are characterized by a change in the subpleural physical features in terms of full and empty spaces.

TL;DR: Although B‐mode‐based devices are less precise than RF‐based ones, the presented system has good agreement with the reference method and comparable reproducibility, at least when high‐quality images are analyzed.
