Application of fractal theory and fuzzy enhancement in ultrasound image segmentation.
Medical & biological engineering & computing
Oct 9, 2018
The manuscript describes an ultrasound image segmentation technique based on the fractional Brownian motion (FBM) model. Here, the ultrasound images are first enhanced using a fuzzy-based technique, and later the FBM model is employed to obtain the f...
Calcium detection, its quantification, and grayscale morphology-based risk stratification using machine learning in multimodality big data coronary and carotid scans: A review.
Computers in biology and medicine
Aug 20, 2018
PURPOSE OF REVIEW: Atherosclerosis is the leading cause of cardiovascular disease (CVD) and stroke. Typically, atherosclerotic calcium is found during the mature stage of the atherosclerosis disease. It is therefore often a challenge to identify and ...
Efficient B-Mode Ultrasound Image Reconstruction From Sub-Sampled RF Data Using Deep Learning.
IEEE transactions on medical imaging
Aug 10, 2018
In portable, 3-D, and ultra-fast ultrasound imaging systems, there is an increasing demand for the reconstruction of high-quality images from a limited number of radio-frequency (RF) measurements due to receiver (Rx) or transmit (Xmit) event sub-samp...
Convolutional Neural Network for Segmentation and Measurement of Intima Media Thickness.
Journal of medical systems
Jul 9, 2018
The measurement of Carotid Intima Media Thickness (IMT) on Common Carotid Artery (CCA) is a principle marker of risk of cardiovascular disease. This paper presents a novel method of using deep Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) for identification and...
Assessment of Carotid Artery Plaque Components With Machine Learning Classification Using Homodyned-K Parametric Maps and Elastograms.
IEEE transactions on ultrasonics, ferroelectrics, and frequency control
Jun 29, 2018
Quantitative ultrasound (QUS) imaging methods, including elastography, echogenicity analysis, and speckle statistical modeling, are available from a single ultrasound (US) radio-frequency data acquisition. Since these US imaging methods provide compl...
Deep learning strategy for accurate carotid intima-media thickness measurement: An ultrasound study on Japanese diabetic cohort.
Computers in biology and medicine
May 12, 2018
MOTIVATION: The carotid intima-media thickness (cIMT) is an important biomarker for cardiovascular diseases and stroke monitoring. This study presents an intelligence-based, novel, robust, and clinically-strong strategy that uses a combination of dee...
Artificial Intelligence Estimation of Carotid-Femoral Pulse Wave Velocity using Carotid Waveform.
Scientific reports
Jan 17, 2018
In this article, we offer an artificial intelligence method to estimate the carotid-femoral Pulse Wave Velocity (PWV) non-invasively from one uncalibrated carotid waveform measured by tonometry and few routine clinical variables. Since the signal pro...
Regional arterial stiffness in central and peripheral arteries is differentially related to endothelial dysfunction assessed by brachial flow-mediated dilation in metabolic syndrome.
Diabetes & vascular disease research
Dec 28, 2017
The interrelationship between endothelial function and arterial stiffness may be different for central and peripheral arteries due to their structural and functional differences. The study aims to assess the interrelationship between central and peri...
Learning-based automated segmentation of the carotid artery vessel wall in dual-sequence MRI using subdivision surface fitting.
Medical physics
Aug 30, 2017
PURPOSE: The quantification of vessel wall morphology and plaque burden requires vessel segmentation, which is generally performed by manual delineations. The purpose of our work is to develop and evaluate a new 3D model-based approach for carotid ar...
Osteopathic manual therapy in heart failure patients: A randomized clinical trial.
Journal of bodywork and movement therapies
Jul 29, 2017
BACKGROUND: Heart Failure (HF) patients usually present with increased arterial resistance and reduced blood pressure (BP) leading to an impaired functional capacity. Osteopathic Manual Therapy (OMT) focused on myofascial release techniques (MRT) and...
