A region and category confidence-based multi-task network for carotid ultrasound image segmentation and classification [PDF]

arXiv, 2023
The segmentation and classification of carotid plaques in ultrasound images play important roles in the treatment of atherosclerosis and assessment for the risk of stroke. Although deep learning methods have been used for carotid plaque segmentation and classification, two-stage methods will increase the complexity of the overall analysis and the ...

Intima-Media Thickness: Setting a Standard for a Completely Automated Method of Ultrasound Measurement [PDF]

, 2010
The intima - media thickness (IMT) of the common carotid artery is a widely used clinical marker of severe cardiovascular diseases. IMT is usually manually measured on longitudinal B-Mode ultrasound images.

Carotid intima-media thickness as a biomarker of subclinical atherosclerosis

Swiss Medical Weekly, 2012
Intima-media thickness of the carotid artery (CIMT) and its increase is associated with several cardiovascular risk factors and manifest cardiovascular diseases. CIMT is suggested to be an important biomarker of subclinical atherosclerosis. CIMT is measured in B-mode ultrasound images of the carotid tree as a typical double line of the arterial wall ...

Young Healthy Individuals With a First‐Degree Relative With Type 1 Diabetes Displayed Adverse Lipid Changes

Acta Paediatrica, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Aim Timeline of atherosclerosis in children with type 1 diabetes is unknown. We aimed to investigate if familial risk of type 1 diabetes is associated with pro‐atherosclerotic changes. Methods Young first‐degree relatives to patients with paediatric type 1 diabetes and sex and age matching controls were enrolled at Skåne University Hospital ...

Computational Fluid Dynamic Simulations In a Model of a Carotid Bifurcation Under Steady Flow Conditions [PDF]

arXiv, 2020
Strokes are still one of the leading causes for death after heart diseases and cancer in all over the world. Most strokes happen because an artery that carries blood uphill from the heart to the head gets clogged. Most of the time, as with heart attacks, the problem is atherosclerosis, hardening of the arteries, calcified buildup of fatty deposits on ...

Segmentation of the Carotid Lumen and Vessel Wall using Deep Learning and Location Priors [PDF]

arXiv, 2022
In this report we want to present our method and results for the Carotid Artery Vessel Wall Segmentation Challenge. We propose an image-based pipeline utilizing the U-Net architecture and location priors to solve the segmentation problem at hand.

Site‐specific m6A‐miR‐494‐3p, not unmethylated miR‐494‐3p, compromises blood brain barrier by targeting tight junction protein 1 in intracranial atherosclerosis

British Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Background and Purpose Intracranial atherosclerosis is one of the most common causes of ischaemic stroke. However, there is a substantial knowledge gap on the development of intracranial atherosclerosis. Intracranial arteries are characterized by an upregulation of tight junctions between endothelial cells, which control endothelial permeability.

Flow mediated vasodilation compared with carotid intima media thickness in the evaluation of early cardiovascular damage in menopausal women and the influence of biological and psychosocial factors

BMC Women's Health, 2018
Background Women after menopause increase risk for cardiovascular disease and several factors may be related. The purpose was to study biological and psychosocial factors associated with early cardiovascular damage in pre- and postmenopausal women ...
