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...

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...
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...
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...
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 ...
