BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: Carotid B-mode ultrasound (CBUS) imaging is often used to detect and assess atherosclerotic plaques. Doctors often need to segment plaques in the CBUS images to further examine them. Multiple studies have proposed two-dimens...
BACKGROUND: Carotid atherosclerosis (CAS) is a significant risk factor for cardio-cerebrovascular events. The objective of this study is to employ stacking ensemble machine learning techniques to enhance the prediction of CAS occurrence, incorporatin...
BACKGROUND: This study aimed to develop and validate a computed tomography angiography based machine learning model that uses plaque composition data and degree of carotid stenosis to detect symptomatic carotid plaques in patients with carotid athero...
Stroke is one of the major causes of death worldwide, and is closely associated with atherosclerosis of the carotid artery. Panoramic radiographs (PRs) are routinely used in dental practice, and can be used to visualize carotid artery calcification (...
AIM: To develop and validate a deep learning (DL) algorithm for the automated detection and classification of carotid artery plaques (CAPs) on computed tomography angiography (CTA) images.
Carotid atherosclerosis plays a substantial role in cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. Given the multifaceted impact of this disease, there has been increasing interest in harnessing artificial intelligence (AI) and radiomics as complementary to...

The quantification of carotid plaque has been routinely used to predict cardiovascular risk in cardiovascular disease (CVD) and coronary artery disease (CAD). To determine how well carotid plaque features predict the likelihood of CAD and cardiovascu...
OBJECTIVES: While the link between carotid plaque composition and cerebrovascular vascular (CVE) events is recognized, the role of calcium configuration remains unclear. This study aimed to develop and validate a CT angiography (CTA)-based machine le...
OBJECTIVE: We developed and evaluated the accuracy and reliability of a convolutional neural network (CNN) in detecting external carotid artery calcifications (ECACs) in cone beam computed tomography scans.
