Common variation in PHACTR1 is associated with susceptibility to cervical artery dissection [PDF]
Cervical artery dissection (CeAD), a mural hematoma in a carotid or vertebral artery, is a major cause of ischemic stroke in young adults although relatively uncommon in the general population (incidence of 2.6/100,000 per year).

Fused Segmentation of Geometric Models for Myocardium and Coronary Artery via Medial Axis [PDF]
Coronary arteries and their branches supply blood to myocardium. The obstruction of coronary arteries results in significant loss of myocardium, called acute myocardial infarction, and the number one cause of death globally. Hence, quantification of the regional amount of heart muscle subtended by obstructed coronary arteries is of critical value in ...

Dissection of the carotid and vertebral arteries
In recent years, dissection of the external cranial sections of the carotid and vertebral arteries has been of great importance in studies of the causes of stroke. Initially, after the appearance of the first description (Jentzer, 1954) of dissection, it was mentioned only in connection with the characteristics of severe neurological deficits.

Dynamic-Computed Tomography Angiography for Cerebral Vessel Templates and Segmentation [PDF]
Background: Computed Tomography Angiography (CTA) is crucial for cerebrovascular disease diagnosis. Dynamic CTA is a type of imaging that captures temporal information about the We aim to develop and evaluate two segmentation techniques to segment vessels directly on CTA images: (1) creating and registering population-averaged vessel atlases and (2 ...

3D fat-saturated T1 SPACE sequence for the diagnosis of cervical artery dissection [PDF]
Introduction: This study aims to demonstrate the added value of a 3D fat-saturated (FS) T1 sampling perfection with application-optimised contrast using different flip angle evolutions (SPACE) sequence compared to 2D FS T1 spin echo (SE) for the ...

Modeling the Safety Effect of Access and Signal Density on Suburban Arterials: Using Macro Level Analysis Method [PDF]
With rapidly increasing of the land development density along suburban arterials, much more irregular signal spacing appeared on suburban arterials, and high access density is commonly observed on suburban arterials. These issues tend to increase the risk of crash occurrence of arterials.
