Variation in the Caudal Branches of the External Carotid Artery: Comparison of Sex and Side
Background: The branching pattern of vessels emerging from the external carotid artery varies considerably. Knowledge of this variation is critical for clinicians who perform neck procedures.

Variations in branching pattern of external carotid artery in a black Kenyan population [PDF]
Knowledge of variations in branching of external carotid artery is important to minimise inadvertent injury and confusion in identification during neck and craniofacial surgery and interventional neuroradiology.

Computational hemodynamics in arteries with the one-dimensional augmented fluid-structure interaction system: viscoelastic parameters estimation and comparison with in-vivo data [PDF]
Mathematical models are widely recognized as a valuable tool for cardiovascular diagnosis and the study of circulatory diseases, especially to obtain data that require otherwise invasive measurements. To correctly simulate body hemodynamics, the viscoelastic properties of vessel walls are a key aspect to be taken into account as they play an essential ...

Photoacoustic imaging of carotid artery atherosclerosis [PDF]
We introduce a method for photoacoustic imaging of the carotid artery, tailored toward detection of lipidrich atherosclerotic lesions. A common human carotid artery was obtained at autopsy, embedded in a neck mimicking phantom and imaged with a ...

Natriuretic Peptide Receptor 2 Locus Contributes to Carotid Remodeling
Background Carotid artery intima/media thickness (IMT) is a hallmark trait associated with future cardiovascular events. The goal of this study was to map new genes that regulate carotid IMT by genome‐wide association.

Surface Metrology of Cerebral Arteries Luminal Surface [PDF]
Atherosclerotic lesions within carotid and cerebral vessels are likely to influence hemodynamics and manifest into vascular pathologies, including Alzheimers Disease and ischemic stroke. Hemodynamics are influenced by changes in luminal diameter of vessels and wall shear stress derived from turbulence, which directly relates to the surface topography ...

Uncertainty-based quality assurance of carotid artery wall segmentation in black-blood MRI [PDF]
The application of deep learning models to large-scale data sets requires means for automatic quality assurance. We have previously developed a fully automatic algorithm for carotid artery wall segmentation in black-blood MRI that we aim to apply to large-scale data sets.

Various branch anomalies of the aortic arch have been reported, but cases with separate origins of the internal and external carotid arteries with combined direct aortic arch origin of the left vertebral artery are extremely rare.
