Abstract
Embodiments of the present disclosure are directed to a vessel-wall-monitoring device () and a method for identifying the walls of blood vessel in a body. The method includes receiving, by the vessel-wall-monitoring device (), a plurality of ultrasound echo signals from a transducer, wherein the plurality of ultrasound echo signals are transmitted to the transducer from locations of the blood vessel, extracting at least two consecutive ultrasound frames from the plurality of ultrasound echo signals, determining a shift between the at least two consecutive ultrasound frames by comparing samples of the at least two consecutive ultrasound frames, and identifying, a proximal wall and a distal wall of the blood vessel based on the shift between the at least two consecutive ultrasound frames.
