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 ...
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...

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 ...
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...
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 ...
