BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: Percutaneous coronary interventional procedures need advance planning prior to stenting or an endarterectomy. Cardiologists use intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) for screening, risk assessment and stratification of coronary ar...
Sparse representations classification (SRC) is a powerful technique for pixelwise classification of images and it is increasingly being used for a wide variety of image analysis tasks. The method uses sparse representation and learned redundant dicti...

PURPOSE: To develop and evaluate the performance of fully automated model based on deep learning and multiple logistics regression algorithm for image quality assessment (IQA) of carotid computed tomography angiography (CTA) images.
Evaluating large artery atherosclerosis is critical for predicting and preventing ischemic strokes. Ultrasonographic assessment of the carotid arteries is the preferred first-line examination due to its ease of use, noninvasive, and absence of radiat...
BACKGROUND: Carotid artery calcifications are important markers of cardiovascular health, often associated with atherosclerosis and a higher risk of stroke. Recent research shows that dental radiographs can help identify these calcifications, allowin...
