Conclusions The proposed two-stage method enables reliable segmentation and detection of CaW from head and neck CT angiography ... the carotid artery and then segmenting and detecting CaW is promising ...

A team of doctors including neurologists, interventional radiologists, and neurosurgeons decided to use a minimally invasive approach called endovascular intervention. In this, a specialised device is ...

"This process is like a cosmic CT scan, where we can look through different slices of cosmic history and track how matter clumped together at different epochs." A powerful combination of data from ...

Conclusions Direct carotid ... the CT angiogram. Placement of the 6 F sheath too close to the clavicle might result in sheath entry rather perpendicular to the course of the carotid artery, causing ...

The authors analysed 24 consecutive patients with T occlusions of the internal carotid artery treated by local intra-arterial thrombolysis using urokinase. Results: The median baseline National ...

cardiac CT scans without contrast enhancement are the reference modality for quantification of calcified coronary artery plaque. Hence, limitation of our method is its ability to quantify calcified ...

MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging) is a highly advanced imaging technique that utilises powerful magnetic fields and radio waves to generate detailed images of internal body structures. Unlike X-rays ...

There are actually two subclavian arteries (the left and the right), which provide oxygenated blood to the arms, neck, and head, and contribute to blood flow to the brain. The left and right ...

Carotid endarterectomy (CEA) is widely used to treat carotid artery stenosis (CAS). However, the effects of CEA on unilateral CAS‐induced cognitive impairment and the underlying mechanism remain ...

Purpose We examined whether end-to-end deep-learning models could detect moderate (≥50%) or severe (≥70%) stenosis in the left anterior descending artery (LAD), right coronary artery (RCA) or left ...
