The aim of this work was the definition of a method devoted to the automated recognition of different composition of cerebral microemboli. The developed diagnostic procedure made use of a feature-based analysis of ultrasonographic images containing the characteristic microembolic signals. The images were acquired with a transcranial Doppler and classified using a hierarchical neural network. The proposed procedure was tested on clinical cases selected by expert neurologists for their relevance, and experimental results showed its reliability.
