Quantitative ultrasound (QUS) imaging methods, including elastography, echogenicity
analysis, and speckle statistical modeling, are available from a single ultrasound (US) radio …

Plaques in the carotid artery result in stenosis, which is one of the main causes for stroke.
Patients have to be carefully selected for stenosis treatments as they carry some risk. Since …

The aims of this study were to quantify the textural information of strain rate images in
ultrasound carotid elastography and evaluate the feasibility of using the textural features in …

The selection of carotid atherosclerosis patients for surgery or stenting is a crucial task in
atherosclerosis disease management. In order to select only those symptomatic cases who …

Abstract Background and Purpose Atherosclerotic plaque tissue rupture is one of the
leading causes of strokes. Early carotid plaque monitoring can help reduce cardiovascular …

Atherosclerotic plaque in carotid arteries can ultimately lead to cerebrovascular events if not
monitored. The objectives of this study are (a) to design a set of artificial intelligence (AI) …

There are indications that the morphology of atherosclerotic carotid plaques, obtained by
high-resolution ultrasound imaging, has prognostic implications. The objective of this study …

Carotid plaques have been associated with ipsilateral neurological symptoms. High-
resolution ultrasound can provide information not only on the degree of carotid artery …

Characterization of carotid plaque composition, more specifically the amount of lipid core,
fibrous tissue, and calcified tissue, is an important task for the identification of plaques that …

We evaluated the ability of ultrasonic tissue characterization (UTC), based on backscattered
echo signals, to distinguish among the components of advanced carotid plaques. We …
