Cerebral perfusion MR imaging using FAIR-HASTE in chronic carotid occlusive disease: comparison with dynamic susceptibility contrast-perfusion MR imaging. [PDF]
, 2006 To determine the efficacy of flow-sensitive alternating inversion recovery using half-Fourier single-shot turbo spin-echo (FAIR-HASTE) in detecting cerebral hypoperfusion in chronic carotid occlusive disease, we subjected 12 patients with various degrees

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-

Deep Predictive Learning of Carotid Stenosis Severity [PDF]
arXiv, 2021 Carotid artery stenosis is the narrowing of carotid arteries, which supplies blood to the neck and head. In this work, we train a model to predict the severity of the stenosis blockage based on SRUC criteria variables and other patient information. We implement classic machine learning methods, decision trees and random forests, used in a previous ...

Secondary recurrent carotid stenosis [PDF]
Journal of Vascular Surgery, 1996 Recurrent carotid stenosis after carotid endarterectomy has been extensively reported. The occurrence, however, of another ipsilateral restenosis that requires a third carotid operation is rare. The purpose of this study was to evaluate possible risk factors and the most efficacious management of the patient with "secondary" recurrent carotid stenosis ...

ASCORE: an up-to-date cardiovascular risk score for hypertensive patients reflecting contemporary clinical practice developed using the (ASCOT-BPLA) trial data. [PDF]
, 2013 A number of risk scores already exist to predict cardiovascular (CV) events. However, scores developed with data collected some time ago might not accurately predict the CV risk of contemporary hypertensive patients that benefit from more modern ...
