Area-preserving mapping of 3D ultrasound carotid artery images using density-equalizing reference map [PDF]

IEEE Transactions on Biomedical Engineering, 67(9), 1507-1517 (2020), 2018
Carotid atherosclerosis is a focal disease at the bifurcations of the carotid artery. To quantitatively monitor the local changes in the vessel-wall-plus-plaque thickness (VWT) and compare the VWT distributions for different patients or for the same patients at different ultrasound scanning sessions, a mapping technique is required to adjust for the ...

Carotid-artery intima and media thickness as a risk factor for myocardial infarction and stroke in older adults. Cardiovascular Health Study Collaborative Research Group.

New England Journal of Medicine, 1999
BACKGROUND The combined thickness of the intima and media of the carotid artery is associated with the prevalence of cardiovascular disease. We studied the associations between the thickness of the carotid-artery intima and media and the incidence of new

Bilateral common carotid artery dissection [PDF]

BMJ Case Reports, 2012
A 63-year-old Japanese man with no significant medical or family history was admitted for sudden consciousness disturbance, left hemiparesis and shock. Physical examination showed internal carotid artery asymmetry on palpation and significant differential blood pressure in both upper arms.

Coronary Artery Disease Events and Carotid Intima‐Media Thickness in Type 1 Diabetes in the DCCT/EDIC Cohort

Journal of the American Heart Association: Cardiovascular and Cerebrovascular Disease, 2021
Background Carotid artery intima‐media thickness (IMT) is associated with the risk of subsequent cardiovascular events in the general population. This association has not been established in type 1 diabetes.

An Integrated Visual Analytics System for Studying Clinical Carotid Artery Plaques [PDF]

arXiv, 2023
Carotid artery plaques can cause arterial vascular diseases such as stroke and myocardial infarction, posing a severe threat to human life. However, the current clinical examination mainly relies on a direct assessment by physicians of patients' clinical indicators and medical images, lacking an integrated visualization tool for analyzing the ...

Longitudinal wall motion of the common carotid artery can be assessed by velocity vector imaging

Clinical Physiology and Functional Imaging, 2011
Velocity vector imaging (VVI) is novel ultrasound image analysis software, enabling simultaneous evaluation of longitudinal and radial tissue motion. This study aimed to investigate the possible usefulness of VVI in evaluating the longitudinal vessel ...

Media Thickness Measurement of the Common Carotid Artery [PDF]

2007 29th Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society, 2007
The intima-media thickness (IMT) of the common carotid artery (CCA) is widely used as an early indicator of the development of cardiovascular disease (CVD). It was proposed but not thoroughly investigated that the media thickness (MT), its composition and texture may be indicative for identifying the risk of stroke and differentiating between patients ...

Dissection of the Common and External Carotid Artery [PDF]

Cerebrovascular Diseases, 2006
extension of the neck. Another report [2] describes 54 patients with blunt and sharp carotid artery injuries but without mentioning dissections. In 20% of the patients, the ECA was affected, but the trauma included stab wounds and gunshot wounds. Campbell et al. [3] describe a case of ECA pseudoaneurysm from hyoid bone fracture. In 1994, Minion et al. [
