Carotid atherosclerosis in a sample of Egyptian patients with or without ischemic vascular events
The Egyptian Journal of Neurology, Psychiatry and Neurosurgery, 2023 Background Ethnic-racial factors are related to the development of extra- and intracranial atherosclerosis. There are extensive data about carotid atherosclerosis from American, European and Asian population.

Subclinical Carotid Artery Atherosclerosis and Cognitive Function: A Mini-Review
Frontiers in Neurology, 2021 Carotid artery atherosclerosis, the result of a multitude of vascular risk factors, is a promising marker for use in risk stratification. Recent evidence suggests that carotid artery atherosclerosis affects cognitive function and is an independent risk ...

Automatic Diagnosis of Carotid Atherosclerosis Using a Portable Freehand 3D Ultrasound Imaging System [PDF]
arXiv, 2023 The objective of this study is to develop a deep-learning based detection and diagnosis technique for carotid atherosclerosis using a portable freehand 3D ultrasound (US) imaging system. A total of 127 3D carotid artery scans were acquired using a portable 3D US system which consisted of a handheld US scanner and an electromagnetic tracking system. A U-

Segmentation of common and internal carotid arteries from 3D ultrasound images using adaptive triple U-Net [PDF]
, 2021 Objective: Vessel-wall-volume (VWV) and localized vessel-wall-thickness (VWT) measured from 3D ultrasound (US) carotid images are sensitive to anti-atherosclerotic effects of medical/dietary treatments. VWV and VWT measurements require the lumen-intima (LIB) and media-adventitia boundaries (MAB) at the common and internal carotid arteries (CCA and ICA).

Association between adiposity and systemic atherosclerosis: a protocol of a cross-sectional autopsy study. [PDF]
, 2016 IntroductionAdiposity has been associated with atherosclerosis in clinical studies. However, few autopsy studies have investigated this association, and they had only examined the coronary artery disease. Moreover, most studies had small sample sizes and

Asymptomatic Carotid Disease and Cognitive Impairment: What Is the Evidence?
Frontiers in Neurology, 2021 The development of cognitive dysfunction and dementia is a complex, multifactorial process. One of the contributors to various types of cognitive dysfunction is carotid atherosclerosis which can frequently be seen in asymptomatic individuals. There are a

Label Propagation for 3D Carotid Vessel Wall Segmentation and Atherosclerosis Diagnosis [PDF]
arXiv, 2022 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 ...
