Learning Wall Segmentation in 3D Vessel Trees using Sparse Annotations [PDF]
We propose a novel approach that uses sparse annotations from clinical studies to train a 3D segmentation of the carotid artery wall. We use a centerline annotation to sample perpendicular cross-sections of the carotid artery and use an adversarial 2D network to segment them.

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

Carotid Stenting for Asymptomatic Carotid Stenosis [PDF]
Stroke, 2007 Angioplasty and stenting should not be performed for patients with asymptomatic atherosclerotic carotid bifurcation stenosis, except in the context of randomized clinical trials. Surgical carotid endarterectomy (CEA) has been proven effective over medical therapy in select asymptomatic patient populations.

Segmentation of carotid vessel wall using U-Net and segmentation average network [PDF]
arXiv, 2020 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 (

Analysis of the correlation between serum homocysteine level and carotid intima-media thickness
Chinese Journal of Contemporary Neurology and Neurosurgery, 2019 Objective To investigate the serum homocysteine (Hcy) level and intima-media thickness (IMT) of patients with carotid artery stenosis and the relation between the two. Methods A total of 126 patients diagnosed as carotid artery stenosis and performed by
