AUTOMATED IMAGE ANALYSIS IDENTIFIES PATIENT ANATOMY DIVERSITY IN ULTRASOUNDS

This study uses semi-automated image analysis to understand patient anatomy during central venous catheterization (CVC) by tracking the internal jugular vein and carotid artery in ultrasound videos. Recording 50 CVC procedures, the algorithm detected vessel edges and calculated metrics like area, position, and eccentricity. The artery was typically circular and posterior to the vein, with notable anatomical variations in some cases. The vein compressed to 13.4% of its original size, while the artery expanded by 13.2%. These findings can enhance training simulations and medical education, demonstrating the potential of automated data analysis in clinical settings.
