PURPOSE: Carotid ultrasound allows noninvasive assessment of vascular anatomy and function with real-time display. Based on the transfer learning method, a series of research results have been obtained on the optimal image recognition and analysis of...
BACKGROUND: Aortic stiffness, assessed as carotid-femoral pulse wave velocity, provides a measure of vascular age and risk for adverse cardiovascular disease outcomes, but it is difficult to measure. The shape of arterial pressure waveforms conveys i...
Analysis of cardiovascular waveforms provides valuable clinical information about the state of health and disease. The intrinsic frequency (IF) method is a recently introduced framework that uses a single arterial pressure waveform to extract physiol...
Accurate measurement of blood flow velocity is important for the prevention and early diagnosis of atherosclerosis. However, due to the uncertainty of parameter settings, the autocorrelation velocimetry methods based on clutter filtering are prone to...
. Arterial wall stiffness can provide valuable information on the proper function of the cardiovascular system. Ultrasound elasticity imaging techniques have shown great promise as a low-cost and non-invasive tool to enable localized maps of arterial...
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 art...
Vector flow imaging is a diagnostic ultrasound modality that is suited for the visualization of complex blood flow dynamics. One popular way of realizing vector flow imaging at high frame rates over 1000 fps is to apply multi-angle vector Doppler est...
The aim of this study was to evaluate the feasibility of a noninvasive and low-operator-dependent imaging method for carotid-artery-stenosis diagnosis. A previously developed prototype for 3D ultrasound scans based on a standard ultrasound machine an...
OBJECTIVES: Accurate detection of carotid plaque using ultrasound (US) is essential for preventing stroke. However, the diagnostic performance of junior radiologists (with approximately 1 year of experience in carotid US evaluation) is relatively poo...
OBJECTIVE: Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is a major healthcare challenge and therefore early risk assessment is vital. Previous assessment techniques use either "conventional CVD risk calculators (CCVRC)" or machine learning (ML) paradigms. These tech...
