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

Asymptomatic Carotid Stenosis [PDF]
Circulation, 2013 Case Presentation: A 78-year-old woman, a retired primary school principal, was referred for a second opinion regarding a recommendation that she undergo stenting of a severe carotid stenosis. A bruit in the right carotid had led to a carotid ultrasound study and a diagnosis of 80% stenosis of the right internal carotid artery.

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 ...

Management of atherosclerotic extracranial carotid artery stenosis [PDF]
, 2022 Atherosclerosis leading to stenosis of the internal carotid artery is the underlying cause of 8–15% of ischaemic strokes (symptomatic carotid stenosis). 1–2% of the adult population have asymptomatic carotid stenosis.

Sex‐specific and hormone‐related differences in vascular remodelling in atherosclerosis
European Journal of Clinical Investigation, Volume 53, Issue 1, January 2023., 2023 Abstract Atherosclerosis, a lipid‐driven inflammatory disease, is the main underlying cause of cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) both in men and women. Sex‐related dimorphisms regarding CVDs and atherosclerosis were observed since more than a decade ago.
