PURPOSE: Utilizing artificial intelligence (AI) technology for the segmentation of plaques on ultrasound images to evaluate the stability of carotid artery plaques and analyze its diagnostic accuracy in differentiating vulnerable plaques from stable ...
BACKGROUND: We aimed to develop and validate an Artificial Intelligence (AI) model that leverages CCTA and optical coherence tomography (OCT) images for automated analysis of plaque characteristics and coronary function.
This study aims to develop a deep learning model using high-resolution vessel wall imaging (HR-VWI) to differentiate symptom-related intracranial and extracranial plaques, which is crucial for stroke treatment and prevention. We retrospectively analy...

The prevalence of coronary artery disease (CAD) has become the major cause of death across the world in recent years. The accurate segmentation of coronary artery is important in clinical diagnosis and treatment of coronary artery disease (CAD) such ...
OBJECTIVES: To develop and evaluate a deep learning model for segmentation of the coronary artery vessels and coronary plaques in coronary computed tomography angiography (CCTA).
OBJECTIVES: To exploit the capability of super-resolution deep learning reconstruction (SR-DLR) to save radiation exposure from coronary CT angiography (CCTA) and assess its impact on image quality, coronary plaque quantification and characterization...
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...
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...
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...
