Abstract:	We present a novel method for detecting the intima and adventitia of carotid artery in B-mode sonographic images. This method detects both layers simultaneously with the information of both layers to reduce the influence of noises. We have tested the method on images made from different sonographic instrumentation. An comparison between professional manual tracing and automatic detection is performed. The results show that this method can be applied directly on those instrumentation with few modification.
