Analysis of AneuRisk65 data: warped logistic discrimination [PDF]
We analyze the AneuRisk65 curvature functions using a likelihood-based warping method for sparsely sampled curves, and combine it with logistic regression in order to discriminate subjects with aneurysms at or after the terminal bifurcation of the internal carotid artery (the most life-threatening) from subjects with no aneurysms or aneurysms along the

Label Propagation for 3D Carotid Vessel Wall Segmentation and Atherosclerosis Diagnosis [PDF]
Carotid vessel wall segmentation is a crucial yet challenging task in the computer-aided diagnosis of atherosclerosis. Although numerous deep learning models have achieved remarkable success in many medical image segmentation tasks, accurate segmentation of carotid vessel wall on magnetic resonance (MR) images remains challenging, due to limited ...

Adventitial lymphatics of internal carotid artery in healthy and atherosclerotic vessels. [PDF]
OBJECTIVESPresence of lymphatics in adventitia of major arteries remains controversial. Presence of lymphatics in adventitia of internal carotid artery was not documented and its relation to atherosclerosis was not studied.

Acute stroke secondary to internal carotid artery pseudoaneurysm: MRI findingsand treatment with endovascularcoiling [PDF]
Internal carotid artery pseudoaneurysms are uncommon. We report a young man with history of trivialtrauma who presented with middle cerebral artery stroke.Head CT scan revealed a right parapharyngeal mass.

Segmentation of carotid vessel wall using U-Net and segmentation average network [PDF]
Segmentation of carotid vessel wall is required in vessel wall volume (VWV) and local vessel-wall-plus-plaque thickness (VWT) quantification of the carotid artery. Manual segmentation of the vessel wall is time-consuming and prone to interobserver variability. In this paper, we proposed a convolution neural network to segment the common carotid artery (

Autologous repair of an internal carotid artery aneurysm by resection, caliber reduction, and external mesh tube reinforcement in a 9-year-old boy [PDF]
Extracranial internal carotid artery aneurysms in children are rare, with a reported incidence of 0.5% to 1.9% in internal carotid artery aneurysm operations compared with all carotid operations in adult patients.
