While most strokes are commonly linked to clots from the heart or fatty deposits in the carotid arteries, a new study highlights a ...

Summary form only given. This paper introduces a novel segmentation scheme for carotid artery ultrasound images. The proposed scheme is based on watershed segmentation algorithm. It consists of four ...

Accurate measurement of carotid plaques in ultrasound images is essential for the early preventionand intervention of stroke. However, carotid plaques exhibit complex and diverse shapes, with blurry ...

Hemodynamic stress plays an important role in the development of atherosclerosis. It is difficult to sufficiently predict the progression of atherosclerosis and consequent stenosis based on known risk ...

New study reveals alarming increase in cases of cervical artery dissection, a little-known but growing cause of stroke.

Duplex ultrasound of the carotid arteries is also indicated to evaluate for carotid vascular disease, which may put patients at increased risk for periprocedural stroke and impact procedural planning.
