Localization of common carotid artery transverse section in B-mode ultrasound images using faster RCNN: a deep learning approach.

Medical & biological engineering & computing
Cardiologists can acquire important information related to patients' cardiac health using carotid artery stiffness, its lumen diameter (LD), and its carotid intima-media thickness (cIMT). The sonographers primarily concern about the location of the a...

Ultrafast Plane Wave Imaging With Line-Scan-Quality Using an Ultrasound-Transfer Generative Adversarial Network.

IEEE journal of biomedical and health informatics
In the medical ultrasound field, ultrafast imaging has recently become a hot topic. However, the diagnostic reliability of ultrafast high-frame rate plane-wave (PW) imaging is reduced by its low-quality images. The medical ultrasound equipment on the...

Deep morphology aided diagnosis network for segmentation of carotid artery vessel wall and diagnosis of carotid atherosclerosis on black-blood vessel wall MRI.

Medical physics
PURPOSE: Early detection of carotid atherosclerosis on the vessel wall (VW) magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) (VW-MRI) images can prevent the progression of cardiovascular disease. However, the manual inspection process of the VW-MRI images is cumbers...

Classification of Carotid Artery Intima Media Thickness Ultrasound Images with Deep Learning.

Journal of medical systems
Cerebrovascular accident due to carotid artery disease is the most common cause of death in developed countries following heart disease and cancer. For a reliable early detection of atherosclerosis, Intima Media Thickness (IMT) measurement and classi...

Automatic identification of atherosclerosis subjects in a heterogeneous MR brain imaging data set.

Magnetic resonance imaging
Carotid-artery atherosclerosis (CA) contributes significantly to overall morbidity and mortality in ischemic stroke. We propose a machine learning technique to automatically identify subjects with CA from a heterogeneous cohort of magnetic resonance ...

Deep learning-based carotid media-adventitia and lumen-intima boundary segmentation from three-dimensional ultrasound images.

Medical physics
PURPOSE: Quantification of carotid plaques has been shown to be important for assessing as well as monitoring the progression and regression of carotid atherosclerosis. Various metrics have been proposed and methods of measurements ranging from manua...

Image Quality Improvement of Hand-Held Ultrasound Devices With a Two-Stage Generative Adversarial Network.

IEEE transactions on bio-medical engineering
As a widely used imaging modality in the medical field, ultrasound has been applied in community medicine, rural medicine, and even telemedicine in recent years. Therefore, the development of portable ultrasound devices has become a popular research ...

Plaque components segmentation in carotid artery on simultaneous non-contrast angiography and intraplaque hemorrhage imaging using machine learning.

Magnetic resonance imaging
PURPOSE: This study sought to determine the feasibility of using Simultaneous Non-contrast Angiography and intraPlaque Hemorrhage (SNAP) to detect the lipid-rich/necrotic core (LRNC), and develop a machine learning based algorithm to segment plaque c...

Rheumatoid Arthritis: Atherosclerosis Imaging and Cardiovascular Risk Assessment Using Machine and Deep Learning-Based Tissue Characterization.

Current atherosclerosis reports
PURPOSE OF THE REVIEW: Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a chronic, autoimmune disease which may result in a higher risk of cardiovascular (CV) events and stroke. Tissue characterization and risk stratification of patients with rheumatoid arthritis are a ...

Influence of Nanosilver on Endothelial Function and Vascular Reactivity of Isolated Rabbit Carotid Artery.

Nigerian journal of physiological sciences : official publication of the Physiological Society of Nigeria
There is paucity of information on the effects and mechanism of action of Nanosilver on vascular tone andendothelial function in spite of the upsurge in nanotechnology application in biomedicine. The present study determined theeffect of Nanosilver o...
