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 ...
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...
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...

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...
The Morris water maze test (MWM) is a useful tool to evaluate rodents' spatial learning and memory, but the outcome is susceptible to various experimental conditions. Thigmotaxis is a commonly observed behavioral pattern which is thought to be relate...
BACKGROUND: In the United States, 795,000 people suffer strokes each year; 10-15 % of these strokes can be attributed to stenosis caused by plaque in the carotid artery, a major stroke phenotype risk factor. Studies comparing treatments for the manag...
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: Embolic protection devices (EPDs) used during carotid artery stenting (CAS) are crucial in reducing ischemic complications. Although minimizing the filter-type EPD movement is considered important, limited research has demo...
