Exploring the role of oxidative stress in carotid atherosclerosis: insights from transcriptomic data and single-cell sequencing combined with machine learning.

Biology direct
BACKGROUND: Carotid atherosclerotic plaque is the primary cause of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases. It is closely related to oxidative stress and immune inflammation. This bioinformatic study was conducted to identify key oxidative stress...

Advances in the Application of Artificial Intelligence in the Ultrasound Diagnosis of Vulnerable Carotid Atherosclerotic Plaque.

Ultrasound in medicine & biology
Vulnerable atherosclerotic plaque is a type of plaque that poses a significant risk of high mortality in patients with cardiovascular disease. Ultrasound has long been used for carotid atherosclerosis screening and plaque assessment due to its safety...

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...

Radiomics and deep learning features of pericoronary adipose tissue on non-contrast computerized tomography for predicting non-calcified plaques.

Journal of X-ray science and technology
BACKGROUND: Inflammation of coronary arterial plaque is considered a key factor in the development of coronary heart disease. Early the plaque detection and timely treatment of the atherosclerosis could effectively reduce the risk of cardiovascular e...

Automated Classification of Coronary Plaque on Intravascular Ultrasound by Deep Classifier Cascades.

IEEE transactions on ultrasonics, ferroelectrics, and frequency control
Intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) is the gold standard modality for in vivo visualization of coronary arteries and atherosclerotic plaques. Classification of coronary plaques helps to characterize heterogeneous components and evaluate the risk of plaqu...

Detection of carotid plaques on panoramic radiographs using deep learning.

Journal of dentistry
OBJECTIVES: Panoramic radiographs (PRs) can reveal an incidental finding of atherosclerosis, or carotid artery calcification (CAC), in 3-15% of examined patients. However, limited training in identification of such calcifications among dental profess...

Assessing the impact of ultrasound image standardization in deep learning-based segmentation of carotid plaque types.

Computer methods and programs in biomedicine
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: Carotid B-mode ultrasound (CBUS) imaging is often used to detect and assess atherosclerotic plaques. Doctors often need to segment plaques in the CBUS images to further examine them. Multiple studies have proposed two-dimens...

Patient-Specific Myocardial Infarction Risk Thresholds From AI-Enabled Coronary Plaque Analysis.

Circulation. Cardiovascular imaging
BACKGROUND: Plaque quantification from coronary computed tomography angiography has emerged as a valuable predictor of cardiovascular risk. Deep learning can provide automated quantification of coronary plaque from computed tomography angiography. We...
