INTRODUCTION: Cardiovascular diseases affect 17.7 million people annually, worldwide. Carotid degenerative disease, commonly described as atherosclerotic plaque accumulation, significantly contributes to this, posing a risk for cerebrovascular events...
BACKGROUND: Positive neurologic awake testing during the carotid cross-clamping may be present in around 8% of patients undergoing carotid endarterectomy (CEA). The present work aimed to assess the accuracy of an artificial intelligence (AI)-powered ...
Carotid plaques-the buildup of cholesterol, calcium, cellular debris, and fibrous tissues in carotid arteries-can rupture, release microemboli into the cerebral vasculature and cause strokes. The likelihood of a plaque rupturing is thought to be asso...
PURPOSE: Utilizing artificial intelligence (AI) technology for the segmentation of plaques on ultrasound images to evaluate the stability of carotid artery plaques and analyze its diagnostic accuracy in differentiating vulnerable plaques from stable ...
