Semi-automated carotid lumen segmentation in computed tomography angiography images.
Carotid artery stenosis causes narrowing of carotid lumens and may lead to brain infarction. The purpose of this study was to develop a semi-automated method of segmenting vessel walls, surrounding tissues, and more importantly, the carotid artery lumen by contrast computed tomography angiography (CTA) images and to define the severity of stenosis and present a three-dimensional model of the ca...
متن کاملComputed Tomography Angiography of Carotid Arteries and Vertebrobasilar System
Computed tomography angiography (CTA) of carotid arteries and vertebrobasilar system is a standardized procedure with excellent image quality, but radiation exposure remains a matter of concern. The aim of this study is to examine to what extent radiation dose can be lowered in relation to a standard protocol by simulating examinations with lower tube currents applying a dedicated software.Lowe...
متن کاملComputed tomography angiography for the evaluation of carotid atherosclerotic plaque: correlation with histopathology of endarterectomy specimens.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE The goal of this study was to determine the efficacy of CT angiography for the characterization of plaque morphology and composition in carotid atherosclerotic disease. METHODS Fifty-five patients undergoing carotid endarterectomy were imaged preoperatively with single-slice spiral CT angiography. One hundred sixty-five endarterectomy sections were examined histological...
متن کاملEvaluation of computed tomography angiography plaque thickness measurements in high-grade carotid artery stenosis.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Increasing evidence suggests that carotid artery imaging can identify vulnerable plaque elements that increase stroke risk. We correlated recently proposed markers, soft and hard plaque thickness measurements on axial computed tomography angiography source images, with symptomatic disease status (ipsilateral stroke or transient ischemic attack) in high-grade carotid disea...
متن کاملCan coronary computed tomography angiography replace invasive angiography? Coronary computed tomography angiography cannot replace invasive angiography.
O ne million patients undergo invasive coronary angiogra-phy (CA) in the United States every year. 1 In view of its invasive nature and related costs, noninvasive imaging of coronary imaging has the theoretical appeal to improve comfort for patients, reduce cost, and refine patient selection to limit invasive procedures to patients requiring treatment for ischemic coronary artery disease (CAD)....
