Ultrasound imaging plays an essential role in the diagnosis of vascular lesions. Accurate
segmentation of the vascular wall is important for preventing, diagnosing, and treating …

Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is the leading cause of mortality yet largely preventable, but
the key to prevention is to identify at risk individuals before adverse events. For predicting …

Atherosclerosis is responsible for a large proportion of cardiovascular diseases (CVD),
which are the leading cause of death in the world. The atherosclerotic process is a complex …

In patients at high risk for ischemic stroke, clinical carotid ultrasound is often used to grade
stenosis, determine plaque burden and assess stroke risk. Analysis currently requires a …

Atherosclerosis is the leading underlying pathologic process that results in cardiovascular
diseases, which represents the main cause of death and disability in the world. The …

Common carotid artery (CCA) diagnosis is very important for carrying out an assessment of
the severity of vascular disease and being able to suggest treatment solutions, whether with …

The intima–media thickness (IMT) of the common carotid artery (CCA) is being used as a
reliable and early detector of atherosclerosis. Atherosclerosis may be unnoticed fo years …

The degree of stenosis in the carotid artery can be predicted using automated carotid lumen
diameter (LD) measured from B-mode ultrasound images. Systolic velocity-based methods …

The intima-media thickness (IMT) of a common carotid artery in an ultrasound image is
considered an important indicator of the onset of atherosclerosis. However, it is challenging …
