Introduction We developed a zero-dimensional (0D) model to assess the patient-specific haemodynamics in the circle of Willis (CoW). Similar numerical models for simulating the cerebral blood flow (CBF ...

Quantification of carotid atherosclerosis is important in monitoring patients at risk of cardiovascular events and in evaluating therapies. High-resolution 3D carotid magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) ...

Acute occlusion of the internal carotid artery (ICA) is often associated with a large clot burden and typically leads to poor outcomes. 1 Variations in the circle of Willis and the status of ...

In addition to providing a precise measurement of carotid stenosis, cerebral angiography also demonstrates the cervical height of the carotid bifurcation in the neck; the length and morphology of the ...

External counterpulsation (ECP) is the mechanical therapy for ischemic cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases in clinical. Mean arterial pressure for patients with cerebral ischemic stroke is the ...

Objectives The aim of this study was to evaluate the performance of deep learning-based detection and classification of carotid plaque (DL-DCCP) in carotid plaque contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS).
