Comparison of Multiresolution Features for Texture Classification of Carotid Atherosclerosis From
"... Abstract—In this paper, a multiresolution approach is sug-gested for texture classification of atherosclerotic tissue from B-mode ultrasound. Four decomposition schemes, namely, the dis-crete wavelet transform, the stationary wavelet transform, wavelet packets (WP), and Gabor transform (GT), as well ..."

), as well as several basis functions, were investigated in terms of their ability to discrim-inate between symptomatic and asymptomatic cases. The mean and standard deviation of the detail subimages produced for each decomposition scheme were used as texture features. Feature selec-tion included 1) ranking
A Novel Computerized Tool to Stratify Risk in Carotid Atherosclerosis Using Kinematic Features of the Arterial Wall
, 2013
"... Abstract—Valid characterization of carotid atherosclerosis (CA) is a crucial public health issue, which would limit the major risks held by CA for both patient safety and state economies. This pa-per investigated the unexplored potential of kinematic features in assisting the diagnostic decision for ..."

Toward novel noninvasive and low-cost markers for predicting strokes in asymptomatic carotid atherosclerosis: the role of ultrasound image analysis
- IEEE Trans. Biomed. Eng
, 2013
"... Abstract—Stroke is a serious and frequent cerebrovascular dis-ease with an enormous socioeconomic burden worldwide. Stroke prevention includes treatment of carotid atherosclerosis, the most common underlying cause of stroke, according to a specific diag-nostic algorithm. However, this diagnostic alg ..."

algorithm has proved insufficient for a large number of mostly asymptomatic subjects, which poses a significant research challenge of identifying novel personalized risk markers for the disease. This paper illustrates the potential of carotid ultrasound image analysis toward this di-rection, with ultrasound

MR Carotid Plaque Imaging and Contrast- Enhanced MR Angiography Identifies Lesions Associated with Recent Ipsilateral Thromboembolic Symptoms: An In Vivo Study at 3T
"... BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Recent research has suggested the importance of plaque composition to identify patients at risk for stroke. This study aims to identify specific plaque features on 3T carotid MR imaging and CE-MRA associated with recent carotid thromboembolic symptoms in patients with mild/mo ..."

/moderate versus severe stenosis. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Ninety-seven consecutive patients (symptomatic, 13; asymptomatic, 84) with 50%–99 % stenosis by sonography or CT angiography underwent carotid plaque imaging com-bined with MRA at 3T. The symptomatic carotid artery or the most stenotic asymptomatic carotid

THE WILLINGNESS TO PAY FOR THE DETECTION AND TREATMENT OF VULNERABLE PLAQUE RELATED TO HEART ATTACKS
"... Recent medical studies have led cardiologists to revise theories regarding the cause of heart attacks. Rather than a gradual clogging of the arteries, eruption of a “vulnerable plaque ” is thought to be the cause of approximately 75 % of all heart attacks. As a result, traditional risk factors are n ..."
