Relationship of femoral artery ultrasound measures of atherosclerosis with chronic kidney disease.

Journal of vascular surgery
BACKGROUND: Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is strongly associated with peripheral artery disease (PAD). Detection of subclinical PAD may allow early interventions for or prevention of PAD in persons with CKD. Whether the presence of atherosclerotic pla...

Framework for detection and localization of coronary non-calcified plaques in cardiac CTA using mean radial profiles.

Computers in biology and medicine
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: The high mortality rate associated with coronary heart disease (CHD) has driven intensive research in cardiac imaging and image analysis. The advent of computed tomography angiography (CTA) has turned non-invasive diagnosis ...

A Convolutional Neural Network for Automatic Characterization of Plaque Composition in Carotid Ultrasound.

IEEE journal of biomedical and health informatics
Characterization of carotid plaque composition, more specifically the amount of lipid core, fibrous tissue, and calcified tissue, is an important task for the identification of plaques that are prone to rupture, and thus for early risk estimation of ...

An artificial neural network method for lumen and media-adventitia border detection in IVUS.

Computerized medical imaging and graphics : the official journal of the Computerized Medical Imaging Society
Intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) has been well recognized as one powerful imaging technique to evaluate the stenosis inside the coronary arteries. The detection of lumen border and media-adventitia (MA) border in IVUS images is the key procedure to de...

Computed Tomography Advancements in Plaque Analysis: From Histology to Comprehensive Plaque Burden Assessment.

Echocardiography (Mount Kisco, N.Y.)
Advancements in coronary computed tomography angiography (CCTA) facilitated the transition from traditional histological approaches to comprehensive plaque burden assessment. Recent updates in the European Society of Cardiology (ESC) guidelines empha...

Derivation and validation of an artificial intelligence-based plaque burden safety cut-off for long-term acute coronary syndrome from coronary computed tomography angiography.

European heart journal. Cardiovascular Imaging
AIMS: Artificial intelligence (AI) has enabled accurate and fast plaque quantification from coronary computed tomography angiography (CCTA). However, AI detects any coronary plaque in up to 97% of patients. To avoid overdiagnosis, a plaque burden saf...

Hybrid strategy of coronary atherosclerosis characterization with T1-weighted MRI and CT angiography to non-invasively predict periprocedural myocardial injury.

European heart journal. Cardiovascular Imaging
AIMS: Coronary computed tomography angiography (CCTA) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) can predict periprocedural myocardial injury (PMI) after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). We aimed to investigate whether integrating MRI with CCTA, u...
