Rupture of a vulnerable carotid plaque is one of the leading causes of stroke. Carotid
magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is able to visualize all the main hallmarks of plaque …

Current risk stratification for stroke is still based upon percentage of carotid stenosis, despite
this measure providing minimal patient-specific information on the actual risk of stroke for …

Background and Purpose: Intracranial atherosclerosis is one of the main causes of stroke,
and high-resolution magnetic resonance imaging provides useful imaging biomarkers …

The present disclosure provides for improved image analysis via novel deblurring and
segmentation techniques of image data. These techniques advantageously account for and …

Methods and systems are disclosed for structuring and using information pertinent to in vivo
biomarkers, specifically quantitative imaging biomarkers, using semantic web technology for …

Vulnerable carotid atherosclerotic plaques are characterised by several risk factors, such as
inflammation, neovascularization and intraplaque haemorrhage (IPH). Vulnerable plaques …

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Identifying the mere presence of carotid intraplaque
hemorrhage would be insufficient to accurately discriminate the presence of acute cerebral …

A content saliency network is a machine-learned neural network that predicts the saliency of
elements of a content item. The content saliency network may be used in a method that …

Background and Purpose—High-resolution magnetic resonance imaging is capable of
characterizing carotid atherosclerotic plaque morphology and composition. Most reported …

The associations between blood pressure parameters and intracranial vulnerable plaques
have not been fully elucidated. The purpose of this study was to investigate the associations …
