Classification of Carotid Plaque with Jellyfish Sign Through Convolutional and Recurrent Neural Networks Utilizing Plaque Surface Edges.

Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. Annual International Conference
In carotid arteries, plaque can develop as localized elevated lesions. The Jellyfish sign, marked by fluctuating plaque surfaces with blood flow pulsation, is a dynamic characteristic of these plaques that has recently attracted attention. Detecting ...

PSAA-nnUNet: An Efficient Method for CT Carotid Artery Image Segmentation.

Advances in experimental medicine and biology
Carotid artery (CA) stenosis (CAS) constitutes a significant factor to ischaemic cerebrovascular events which exhibiting no overt symptoms in the early stages. Early detection of CAS can prevent ischaemic stroke and improve patient prognosis. In this...

A Video-based Automated Tracking and Analysis System of Plaque Burden in Carotid Artery Using Deep Learning: A Comparison with Senior Sonographers.

Current medical imaging
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: The incidence of stroke is rising, and it is the second major cause of mortality and the third leading cause of disability around the globe. The goal of this study was to rapidly and accurately identify carotid plaques and a...

Software that combines deep learning, 3D reconstruction and CFD to analyze the state of carotid arteries from ultrasound imaging.

Technology and health care : official journal of the European Society for Engineering and Medicine
BACKGROUND: Ultrasound is one of the non-invasive techniques that are used in clinical diagnostics of carotid artery disease.

Automated Deep Learning-based Single-Step Diameter Estimation of Carotid Arteries in B-mode Ultrasound.

Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. Annual International Conference
Accurate measurement of blood vessel diameter on ultrasonic images is important in many vascular exams. In one of them, volumetric blood flow measurements, the volume flow rate is calculated by multiplying the time-averaged velocity with the cross-se...

Analysis of Advanced Siamese Neural Networks for Motion Tracking of Sonography of Carotid Arteries.

Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. Annual International Conference
The Siamese Tracker (ST) for tracking objects of interest in Ultrasound (US) images does not incorporate video specific cues and assumes a fixed template of the reference block. Recently, a more advanced version of ST, Correlation Filter Network (CFN...

Robot-assisted carotid artery stenting: outcomes, safety, and operational learning curve.

Neurosurgical focus
OBJECTIVE: Over the past 2 decades, robots have been increasingly used in surgeries to help overcome human limitations and perform precise and accurate tasks. Endovascular robots were pioneered in interventional cardiology, however, the CorPath GRX w...

A Novel Deep Learning Approach for Tracking Regions of Interest in Ultrasound Images.

Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. Annual International Conference
Due to their great success in learning a universal object similarity metric, Siamese Trackers have been adopted for motion tracking a Region of Interest (ROI) in Ultrasound (US) image sequences. However, these Fully Convolutional Siamese networks (Si...

Stratification of carotid atheromatous plaque using interpretable deep learning methods on B-mode ultrasound images.

Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. Annual International Conference
Carotid atherosclerosis is the major cause of ischemic stroke resulting in significant rates of mortality and disability annually. Early diagnosis of such cases is of great importance, since it enables clinicians to apply a more effective treatment s...

Deep Learning for Virtual Histological Staining of Bright-Field Microscopic Images of Unlabeled Carotid Artery Tissue.

Molecular imaging and biology
PURPOSE: Histological analysis of artery tissue samples is a widely used method for diagnosis and quantification of cardiovascular diseases. However, the variable and labor-intensive tissue staining procedures hinder efficient and informative histolo...
