Identification of key genes and regulatory networks associated with atherosclerotic carotid artery stenosis through comprehensive bioinformatics analysis and machine learning.

European journal of medical research
OBJECTIVE: To identify the potential diagnostic biomarkers and therapeutic targets of atherosclerotic carotid artery stenosis (ACAS), a comprehensive bioinformatics analysis was conducted to identify its related key genes and regulatory networks.

Automatic generation and risk stratification of carotid plaque in virtual shear wave elastography using a generative adversarial network.

Computerized medical imaging and graphics : the official journal of the Computerized Medical Imaging Society
Shear wave elastography (SWE) is an effective ultrasound imaging technique for assessing carotid plaque vulnerability. However, acquiring SWE images typically requires costly specialized equipment and must be performed by experienced radiologists, wh...

SML-Net: Semi-supervised multi-task learning network for carotid plaque segmentation and classification.

Computerized medical imaging and graphics : the official journal of the Computerized Medical Imaging Society
Carotid ultrasound image segmentation and classification are crucial in assessing the severity of carotid plaques which serve as a major cause of ischemic stroke. Although many methods are employed for carotid plaque segmentation and classification, ...

FeaCL: Carotid plaque classification from ultrasound images using feature-level and instance-level contrast learning.

Computerized medical imaging and graphics : the official journal of the Computerized Medical Imaging Society
The classification of carotid plaques from ultrasound images in clinical application is crucial for predicting patient risks of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, as well as for developing appropriate treatment strategies. Although the effe...

Expanding point cloud statistical shape model applications: Generalized vascular modeling for population-level hemodynamic simulations.

Computer methods and programs in biomedicine
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: Population-scale hemodynamic research faces limitations due to the trade-off between computationally expensive patient-specific Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) and overly idealized cylindrical models. To overcome this, we...

Combining artificial intelligence assisted image segmentation and ultrasound based radiomics for the prediction of carotid plaque stability.

BMC medical imaging
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 ...

Real time artificial intelligence assisted carotid artery stenting: a preliminary experience.

Journal of neurointerventional surgery
BACKGROUND: Neurointerventionalists must pay close attention to multiple devices on multiple screens simultaneously, which can lead to oversights and complications. Artificial intelligence (AI) has potential application in recognizing and monitoring ...

Varying pixel resolution significantly improves deep learning-based carotid plaque histology segmentation.

Scientific reports
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...

Predictive Factors Driving Positive Awake Test in Carotid Endarterectomy Using Machine Learning.

Annals of vascular surgery
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 ...

Advancing Vascular Surgery: The Role Of Artificial Intelligence And Machine Learning In Managing Carotid Stenosis.

Portuguese journal of cardiac thoracic and vascular surgery
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...
