14.2 Patient demographics and data acquisition
14.2.1 Patient demographics
From a single case study, twenty-two patients with stable angina pectoris who underwent percutaneous coronary interventions between July 2009 and December 2010 were considered for this study. The study consisted of 22 patients (20 M 2 F) in the age group of 36–81 years (average 66 ± 12 years). In this database, ten patients had a calcied location on the left anterior descending, eight on the right, two on the

left circumex and two on the left main coronary artery. Out of 22 patients, ten had proximal lesions, six in the middle, and six at a distal location. Five patients had a family history of CAD. Furthermore, one patient had a prior myocardial infarction while another had undergone a prior coronary artery bypass grafting. The mean hemoglobin, low-density lipoprotein (LDL), high-density lipoprotein (HDL) and total cholesterol were 5.6 g dL respectively. Ten patients from the pool of 22 patients were smokers.

14.2.2 Data acquisition
The dataset was approved by the IRB and written informed consent was provided by all the patients. In this study, all the patients have undergone both carotid and coronary ultrasound examinations. Carotid examinations were performed with a scanner (Aplio XV, AplioXG, Xario, Toshiba, Inc., Tokyo, Japan) equipped with a
7.5 MHz linear array transducer. For coronary data acquisition, a 40 MHz IVUS catheter (Atlantis SR Pro; Boston Scientic, Marlborough, MA, USA) was used. For the carotid database, high-resolution images were acquired as recommended by the American Society of Echocardiography and, for the coronary database, the DICOM image format was used. Durng conversion into AVI movies, these DICOM images (16 bits per pixel) were further compressed to JPEG (8 bits per pixel) images. The mean pixel resolution for the carotid and coronary databases were 0.05 ± 0.01 mm/pixel and 0.0167 mm/pixel, respectively.
14.3 Methodology
14.3.1 IVUS data preparation
The coronary dataset consists of 22 patients with 2109 frames per patient. Our coronary data size preparation involves two assumptions: (a) the head and tail end frames did not contain any morphological information about calcium and (b) the artery is not a straight line and longitudinal and transversal displacements do exist between frames [29, 30]. In this database, the change in calcium was observed in every 10th frame. Using these two assumptions, we accumulated 4930 frames derived from 22 patients. Considering the carotid risk threshold [16, 17, 23], all the patients with a carotid plaque burden higher than or equal to 0.9 mm are categorized into the high-risk pool and the patients with a plaque burden lower than 0.9 mm are categorized in the low-risk pool. Accordingly, 14 patients were categorized as high­risk (63.63%) and the other eight patients were in the low-risk pool (36.36%). Note that our data size in the ML framework was not 22 subjects, but 4930 frames collected from 22 subjects, with pools consisting of 3043 high-risk frames and 1887 low-risk frames corresponding to 14 high-risk patients and eight low-risk patients, respectively.
14.3.2 Wall region of interest estimation
In this study for the region of interest (ROI) estimation, we have employed an ImgTracersystem (courtesy of AtheroPoint, Roseville, CA, USA) recently used by JSS and his team [20, 2931]. Here, two experts (doctoral students with knowledge of coronary artery disease and IVUS imaging) generated the vessel wall region by manually tracing the internal elastic lamina (IEL) and external elastic lamina (EEL) borders. A typical example of manually traced IEL/EEL borders is shown in gure 14.3.Infigure 14.3(a), the inner/outer yellow rings indicate IEL/EEL borders. The atherosclerotic wall region treated as the ROI is shown in gure
14.3(b).

14.3.3 Wall- and texture-based feature computation
In this study, we have computed six different wall-based measurement features, namely coronary calcium area, coronary vessel area, coronary lumen area, coronary atheroma area, coronary wall thickness and coronary wall thickness variability [20]. Coronary calcium area is computed using a well-established threshold-based segmentation technique [29, 31]. However, coronary vessel area, coronary lumen area and coronary atheroma area was computed by generating their corresponding binary mask images using the IEL/EEL borders manually traced by experts using the ImgTracersystem [20]. Further, using the bidirectional concept of the polyline distance method [32, 33], we have computed the coronary wall thickness. Finally, coronary wall thickness variability is estimated by computing the standard deviation of the coronary wall thickness over all the frames. For this study, we have also extracted 59 different plaque texture-based features [16, 17], thus having a total set of 65 features. Detailed derivations of all the plaque texture-based features are as shown below.
14.3.3.1 Gray-level co-occurrence matrix (GLCM)
The GLCM matrix indicates the joint probability of the occurrence of the gray-level between neighboring pixels [34]. Let us assume a 2D image containing pixels with gray levels
0, 1, , 1)
occurring in the neighborhood of gray-levelj. Here the (i, j)th entry of GLCM is denoted as
df
ij(, ),
the sum of all the elements in the matrix. and columns at location
for the rows and columns at location are given in table 14.1 [35] which reects the spatial distribution of intensity values of an image.

14.3.3.2 The gray-level run length matrix (GLRLM)
In the GLRLM, the gray intensity of the pixel is measured from the reference pixel and run length is dened as the set of pixels having the same gray levels in a specific direction. In this grayscale texture feature, runs of length y at reference gray level
denes the maximum run length,tis the total number of runs andqis the number
R
Fx y(, )
x
. Here, GL denes the number of gray levels,
denes the set of pixels of successive
of pixels in the image. From the GLRLM, 11 features are extracted, as shown in table
14.2 [35], which measure the joint distribution of gray-level and run length distribution.
14.3.3.3 Intensity histogram
In the intensity histogram, the following measurements are computed: mean energy, variance, entropy, skewness and kurtosis. Mean, variance and skew measure the brightness, contrast and the allocation of the gray level in an image. Entropy is the converse of skew. Here
denes the number of pixel intensities of valuej. Table
j()
14.3 shows the formulas for extracting seven features using the intensity histogram
of a given image [35].

14.3.4 Principal component analysis with polling contribution
For this study, we have extracted 59 different plaque texture-based features [16, 17] along with six wall-based measurement features, thus having a total set of 65 features. However, since there are a large number of features (= 65), it is rst necessary to extract the dominant features from the pool consisting of plaque texture-based features fused with wall-based measurement features. Since PCA is mainly used for dimensionality reduction, a PCA-based polling strategy is used in this study [41]. Here, we use eigenvectors to evaluate the signicance of different feature components of the original samples. The algorithm of feature selection is as follows:
Step 1. First, we compute the covariance matrix of the dataset. Step 2. Now, we compute the eigenvectors (V) and eigenvalues (λ) of the
covariance matrix.
Step 3. Now, we select the largest eigenvalues and arrange the eigenvectors
according to the selected eigenvalues.
