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...

Accurate measurement of blood vessel diameter on ultrasonic images is important in many vascular exams. In one of them, volumetric blood flow measurements, the volume flow rate is calculated by multiplying the time-averaged velocity with the cross-se...
OBJECTIVE: Over the past 2 decades, robots have been increasingly used in surgeries to help overcome human limitations and perform precise and accurate tasks. Endovascular robots were pioneered in interventional cardiology, however, the CorPath GRX w...

Objective Asymptomatic carotid stenosis (ACS) is closely associated to the incidence of severe cerebrovascular diseases. Early identifying the individuals with ACS and its associated risk factors could be beneficial for primary prevention of stroke. ...
Carotid plaque segmentation in ultrasound longitudinal B-mode images using deep learning is presented in this work. We report on 101 severely stenotic carotid plaque patients. A standard U-Net is compared with a dilated U-Net architecture in which th...
