Carotid ultrasound measurement of total plaque area (TPA) provides a method for quantifying carotid plaque burden and monitoring changes in carotid atherosclerosis in response to medical treatment. Plaque boundary segmentation is required to generate...
INTRODUCTION: This study aimed to describe the rates and causes of unplanned readmissions within 30 days following carotid artery stenting (CAS) and to use artificial intelligence machine learning analysis for creating a prediction model for short-te...
BACKGROUND: Non-invasive imaging is of interest for tracking the progression of atherosclerosis in the carotid bifurcation, and segmenting this region into its constituent branch arteries is necessary for analyses. The purpose of this study was to va...
Radiomics, quantitative feature extraction from radiological images, can improve disease diagnosis and prognostication. However, radiomic features are susceptible to image acquisition and segmentation variability. Ideally, only features robust to the...

Visual or manual characterization and classification of atherosclerotic plaque lesions are tedious, error-prone, and time-consuming. The purpose of this study is to develop and design an automated carotid plaque characterization and classification sy...

Despite being used clinically as a noninvasive flow visualization tool, color flow imaging (CFI) is known to be prone to aliasing artifacts that arise due to fast blood flow beyond the detectable limit. From a visualization standpoint, these aliasing...

Studies of medical flow imaging have technical limitations for accurate analysis of blood flow dynamics and vessel wall interaction at arteries. We propose a new deep learning-based boundary detection and compensation (DL-BDC) technique in ultrasound...
PURPOSE: The prediction of atherosclerosis using retinal fundus images and deep learning has not been shown possible. The purpose of this study was to develop a deep learning model which predicted atherosclerosis by using retinal fundus images and to...
PURPOSE: To develop and test the feasibility of a sub-3-minute imaging strategy for non-contrast evaluation of the extracranial carotid arteries using ungated quiescent interval slice-selective (QISS) MRA, combining single-shot radial sampling with d...
