Robot-Assisted Carotid Artery Stenting: A Safety and Feasibility Study.

Cardiovascular and interventional radiology
PURPOSE: Endovascular robotics is an emerging technology within the developing field of medical robotics. This was a prospective evaluation to assess safety and feasibility of robotic-assisted carotid artery stenting.

Ultrasound-based internal carotid artery plaque characterization using deep learning paradigm on a supercomputer: a cardiovascular disease/stroke risk assessment system.

The international journal of cardiovascular imaging
Visual or manual characterization and classification of atherosclerotic plaque lesions are tedious, error-prone, and time-consuming. The purpose of this study is to develop and design an automated carotid plaque characterization and classification sy...

Robotic-assisted balloon angioplasty and stent placement with distal embolic protection device for severe carotid artery stenosis in a high-risk surgical patient.

Catheterization and cardiovascular interventions : official journal of the Society for Cardiac Angiography & Interventions
The use of robotic assistance in endovascular interventions may facilitate smoother procedures with fewer device manipulations, improve precision and accuracy of device deployment, and reduce exposure to fluoroscopic radiation. We used the CorPath GR...

Identification of patients with carotid stenosis using natural language processing.

European radiology
PURPOSE: The highly structured nature of medical reports makes them feasible for automated large-scale patient identification. This study aimed to develop a natural language processing (NLP) model to retrospectively retrieve patients with presence an...

Bimodal Automated Carotid Ultrasound Segmentation Using Geometrically Constrained Deep Neural Networks.

IEEE journal of biomedical and health informatics
For asymptomatic patients suffering from carotid stenosis, the assessment of plaque morphology is an important clinical task which allows monitoring of the risk of plaque rupture and future incidents of stroke. Ultrasound Imaging provides a safe and ...

Infrared (IR) thermography as a potential screening modality for carotid artery stenosis.

Computers in biology and medicine
In the present study, an infrared (IR) thermal camera was used to map the temperature of the target skin surface, and the resulting thermal image was evaluated for the presence of carotid artery stenosis (CAS). In the presence of stenosis in the caro...

Plaque components segmentation in carotid artery on simultaneous non-contrast angiography and intraplaque hemorrhage imaging using machine learning.

Magnetic resonance imaging
PURPOSE: This study sought to determine the feasibility of using Simultaneous Non-contrast Angiography and intraPlaque Hemorrhage (SNAP) to detect the lipid-rich/necrotic core (LRNC), and develop a machine learning based algorithm to segment plaque c...

Assessment of Carotid Artery Plaque Components With Machine Learning Classification Using Homodyned-K Parametric Maps and Elastograms.

IEEE transactions on ultrasonics, ferroelectrics, and frequency control
Quantitative ultrasound (QUS) imaging methods, including elastography, echogenicity analysis, and speckle statistical modeling, are available from a single ultrasound (US) radio-frequency data acquisition. Since these US imaging methods provide compl...
