Identifying atherosclerotic disease is the mainstay for the correct diagnosis of the large artery
atherosclerosis ischemic stroke subtype and for choosing the right therapeutic strategy in …

The carotid artery is one of the most important blood vessels that supply blood to the brain. If
thrombus occurs, it may cause cerebral ischemic stroke and endanger life. Carotid intima …

Measurement of total-plaque-area (TPA) is important for determining long term risk for stroke
and monitoring carotid plaque progression. Since delineation of carotid plaques is required …

Carotid ultrasound measurement of total plaque area (TPA) provides a method for
quantifying carotid plaque burden and monitoring changes in carotid atherosclerosis in …

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 …

We present an accurate, fast and efficient method for segmentation and muscle mask
propagation in 3D freehand ultrasound data, towards accurate volume quantification. A …

We propose a basis splines-based based active contour method for the segmentation of
lumen boundary and media adventitia boundary from transverse and longitudinal B-mode …

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 …

Common carotid artery (CCA) diagnosis is very important for carrying out an assessment of
the severity of vascular disease and being able to suggest treatment solutions, whether with …

Carotid ultrasound is a screening modality used by physicians to direct treatment in the
prevention of ischemic stroke in high-risk patients. It is a time intensive process that requires …
