A domain adaptation model for carotid ultrasound: Image harmonization, noise reduction, and impact on cardiovascular risk markers.

Computers in biology and medicine
Deep learning has been used extensively for medical image analysis applications, assuming the training and test data adhere to the same probability distributions. However, a common challenge arises when dealing with medical images generated by differ...

Combining artificial intelligence assisted image segmentation and ultrasound based radiomics for the prediction of carotid plaque stability.

BMC medical imaging
PURPOSE: Utilizing artificial intelligence (AI) technology for the segmentation of plaques on ultrasound images to evaluate the stability of carotid artery plaques and analyze its diagnostic accuracy in differentiating vulnerable plaques from stable ...

Deciphering the role of cuproptosis in the development of intimal hyperplasia in rat carotid arteries using single cell analysis and machine learning techniques.

Scientific reports
UNLABELLED: This study aims to explore the regulatory role of cuproptosis in carotid intimal hyperplasia (IH), providing new insights into its pathophysiological mechanisms and potential diagnostic and therapeutic strategies.

Advances in the Application of Artificial Intelligence in the Ultrasound Diagnosis of Vulnerable Carotid Atherosclerotic Plaque.

Ultrasound in medicine & biology
Vulnerable atherosclerotic plaque is a type of plaque that poses a significant risk of high mortality in patients with cardiovascular disease. Ultrasound has long been used for carotid atherosclerosis screening and plaque assessment due to its safety...

Varying pixel resolution significantly improves deep learning-based carotid plaque histology segmentation.

Scientific reports
Carotid plaques-the buildup of cholesterol, calcium, cellular debris, and fibrous tissues in carotid arteries-can rupture, release microemboli into the cerebral vasculature and cause strokes. The likelihood of a plaque rupturing is thought to be asso...

Carotid Vessel Wall Segmentation Through Domain Aligner, Topological Learning, and Segment Anything Model for Sparse Annotation in MR Images.

IEEE transactions on medical imaging
Medical image analysis poses significant challenges due to limited availability of clinical data, which is crucial for training accurate models. This limitation is further compounded by the specialized and labor-intensive nature of the data annotatio...

Detection of carotid plaques on panoramic radiographs using deep learning.

Journal of dentistry
OBJECTIVES: Panoramic radiographs (PRs) can reveal an incidental finding of atherosclerosis, or carotid artery calcification (CAC), in 3-15% of examined patients. However, limited training in identification of such calcifications among dental profess...

Assessing the impact of ultrasound image standardization in deep learning-based segmentation of carotid plaque types.

Computer methods and programs in biomedicine
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: Carotid B-mode ultrasound (CBUS) imaging is often used to detect and assess atherosclerotic plaques. Doctors often need to segment plaques in the CBUS images to further examine them. Multiple studies have proposed two-dimens...

An Unsupervised Learning Tool for Plaque Tissue Characterization in Histopathological Images.

Sensors (Basel, Switzerland)
Stroke is the second leading cause of death and a major cause of disability around the world, and the development of atherosclerotic plaques in the carotid arteries is generally considered the leading cause of severe cerebrovascular events. In recent...

Development of artificial intelligence-driven biosignal-sensitive cardiopulmonary resuscitation robot.

Resuscitation
AIM OF THE STUDY: We evaluated whether an artificial intelligence (AI)-driven robot cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) could improve hemodynamic parameters and clinical outcomes.
