This contribution presents a management system with the achieved results of a complex grant project focused on the development of equipment for the 3-D picturing of a carotid artery. This problem was solved during years 2006 - 2008 by specialists from the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering VŠB-TUO, Faculty of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science VŠB-TUO and Neurological Clinic FN Ostrava during the solving of research project GA 101/06/0491 supported by the Czech Science Foundation. The main goal is mechanical system for the exact measurement of Atherosclerotic Plaque (AC plaque) in a carotid artery, including the control system and synchronizations with the heart activity. The obtained pictures enable the necessary analysis and acquisition of data for Atherosclerotic Plaque with appropriate accuracy and recurring measurements. These results open the way for medical use.

Keywords: Atherosclerotic plaque, sonography, measurement, picture recognition, 3-D modelling
