Carotid artery (CA) stenosis (CAS) constitutes a significant factor to ischaemic cerebrovascular events which exhibiting no overt symptoms in the early stages. Early detection of CAS can prevent ischaemic stroke and improve patient prognosis. In this...

In carotid arteries, plaque can develop as localized elevated lesions. The Jellyfish sign, marked by fluctuating plaque surfaces with blood flow pulsation, is a dynamic characteristic of these plaques that has recently attracted attention. Detecting ...
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...

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...
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...
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...
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.
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 ...
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...
BACKGROUND: Carotid artery calcifications are important markers of cardiovascular health, often associated with atherosclerosis and a higher risk of stroke. Recent research shows that dental radiographs can help identify these calcifications, allowin...
