Wall Shear Stress Analysis in Stenosed Carotid Arteries with Different Shapes of Plaque [PDF]

International Journal of Computer Applications, Volume 145, No.4, July 2016, 2017
Atherosclerosis is a disease caused due to formation of plaque into the artery. Increase in plaque affects the wall shear stress. The present study is performed to calculate wall shear stress in different geometries of stenosed carotid artery. A 2D model of different geometries is generated using CFD for Non- Newtonian model.

Plaque Composition as a Predictor of Plaque Ulceration in Carotid Artery Atherosclerosis: The Plaque At RISK Study [PDF]

American Journal of Neuroradiology, 2020
Plaque ulceration is a marker of previous plaque rupture. We studied the association between atherosclerotic plaque composition at baseline and plaque ulceration at baseline and follow-up.We included symptomatic patients with a carotid stenosis of

Subclinical Carotid Artery Atherosclerosis and Cognitive Function: A Mini-Review

Frontiers in Neurology, 2021
Carotid artery atherosclerosis, the result of a multitude of vascular risk factors, is a promising marker for use in risk stratification. Recent evidence suggests that carotid artery atherosclerosis affects cognitive function and is an independent risk ...

Semantic decomposition Network with Contrastive and Structural Constraints for Dental Plaque Segmentation [PDF]

arXiv, 2022
Segmenting dental plaque from images of medical reagent staining provides valuable information for diagnosis and the determination of follow-up treatment plan. However, accurate dental plaque segmentation is a challenging task that requires identifying teeth and dental plaque subjected to semantic-blur regions (i.e., confused boundaries in border ...
