Automated segmentation of the individual branches of the carotid arteries in contrast-enhanced MR angiography using DeepMedic.

BMC medical imaging
BACKGROUND: Non-invasive imaging is of interest for tracking the progression of atherosclerosis in the carotid bifurcation, and segmenting this region into its constituent branch arteries is necessary for analyses. The purpose of this study was to va...

Deep morphology aided diagnosis network for segmentation of carotid artery vessel wall and diagnosis of carotid atherosclerosis on black-blood vessel wall MRI.

Medical physics
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...

Rheumatoid Arthritis: Atherosclerosis Imaging and Cardiovascular Risk Assessment Using Machine and Deep Learning-Based Tissue Characterization.

Current atherosclerosis reports
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 ...

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
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 ...

Deep learning strategy for accurate carotid intima-media thickness measurement: An ultrasound study on Japanese diabetic cohort.

Computers in biology and medicine
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...

Prediction of persistent hemodynamic depression after carotid angioplasty and stenting using artificial neural network model.

Clinical neurology and neurosurgery
OBJECTIVES: To assess and compare predictive factors for persistent hemodynamic depression (PHD) after carotid artery angioplasty and stenting (CAS) using artificial neural network (ANN) and multiple logistic regression (MLR) or support vector machin...

A Convolutional Neural Network for Automatic Characterization of Plaque Composition in Carotid Ultrasound.

IEEE journal of biomedical and health informatics
Characterization of carotid plaque composition, more specifically the amount of lipid core, fibrous tissue, and calcified tissue, is an important task for the identification of plaques that are prone to rupture, and thus for early risk estimation of ...

Predicting carotid atherosclerosis in latent autoimmune diabetes in adult patients using machine learning models: a retrospective study.

BMC cardiovascular disorders
BACKGROUND: Latent autoimmune diabetes in adults (LADA) is a slowly progressing form of diabetes with autoimmune origins. Patients with LADA are at an elevated risk of developing cardiovascular diseases, including carotid atherosclerosis. While machi...

Two-stage convolutional neural network for segmentation and detection of carotid web on CT angiography.

Journal of neurointerventional surgery
BACKGROUND: Carotid web (CaW) is a risk factor for ischemic stroke, mainly in young patients with stroke of undetermined etiology. Its detection is challenging, especially among non-experienced physicians.

Machine learning using scRNA-seq Combined with bulk-seq to identify lactylation-related hub genes in carotid arteriosclerosis.

Scientific reports
Atherosclerosis is a chronic inflammatory disease, this study aims to investigate the immune landscape in carotid atherosclerotic plaque formation and explore diagnostic biomarkers of lactylation-associated genes, so as to gain new insights into unde...
