Annals of Indian Academy of Neurology, 2022 Atherosclerosis at the carotid bifurcation in the neck is common and the result of turbulent hemodynamics in the bulb. Carotid bulb plaques cause disabling strokes. Carotid vessel wall imaging characterizes the atherosclerotic plaque, documents disease progression, and assesses lesion severity by plaque morphology in addition ...

Advanced Carotid Plaque Imaging [PDF]
European Journal of Vascular and Endovascular Surgery, 2010 Treatment of carotid artery stenosis by endarterectomy or stenting can significantly reduce stroke risk. In clinical practice, indication for surgery or stenting is primarily based on the degree of stenosis, but there is growing awareness that pathophysiological features within a vulnerable plaque play a key role in predicting stroke risk.

Carotid Plaque Vulnerability Diagnosis by CTA versus MRA: A Systematic Review
Diagnostics, 2023 Stenosis grade of the carotid arteries has been the primary indicator for risk stratification and surgical treatment of carotid artery disease. Certain characteristics of the carotid plaque render it vulnerable and have been associated with increased ...

The Symptomatic Carotid Plaque [PDF]
Stroke, 2000 Background —The natural histories of equally severe symptomatic and asymptomatic carotid stenoses are very different, which suggests dichotomy in plaque behavior. The vascular biology of the symptomatic carotid plaque is presented in this review. Summary of Review —Histology studies

Atherosclerotic carotid plaque segmentation [PDF]
The 26th Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society, 2005 Atherosclerosis is the major cause of heart attack and stroke in the western world. In this paper we present a computerized method for segmenting the athrerosclerotic carotid plaque from ultrasound images. The method uses the blood flow image first to detect the initial contour of the plaque, and then despeckle filtering and snakes to deform the ...
