Abstract

BACKGROUND: Carotid plaque volume (CPV) can be measured by 3D ultrasound and may be a better predictor of stroke than stenosis, but analysis time limits clinical utility. This study tested the accuracy, reproducibility, and time saved of using an artificial intelligence (AI) derived semiautomatic software to measure CPV ("auto-CPV").
