Automatically labeling intracranial arteries (ICA) with their anatomical names is beneficial for feature extraction and detailed analysis of intracranial vascular structures. There are significant variations in the ICA due to natural and…
Deviation of blood flow from an optimal range is known to be associated with the initiation and progression of vascular pathologies. Important open questions remain about how the abnormal flow drives specific wall changes in pathologies…
Coronary artery disease (CAD) is one of the most common cardiac diseases worldwide and causes disability and economic burden. It is the world's leading and most serious cause of mortality, with approximately 80% of deaths reported in low-…
While ischemic stroke is a leading cause of death worldwide, there has been little success translating putative cerebroprotectants from rodent preclinical trials to human patients. We investigated computational image-based assessment tools…
Atherosclerotic lesions within carotid and cerebral vessels are likely to influence hemodynamics and manifest into vascular pathologies, including Alzheimers Disease and ischemic stroke. Hemodynamics are influenced by changes in luminal…
An important step for any causal inference study design is understanding the distribution of the treated and control subjects in terms of measured baseline covariates. However, not all baseline variation is equally important. In the…
Purpose: The motion of the common carotid artery tissue layers along the vessel axis during the cardiac cycle, observed in ultrasound imaging, is associated with the presence of established cardiovascular risk factors. However, the vast…
Coronary artery calcium (CAC) is highly predictive of cardiovascular events. While millions of chest CT scans are performed annually in the United States, CAC is not routinely quantified from scans done for non-cardiac purposes. A deep…
The goal is to develop a novel approach for cardiac disease prediction and diagnosis using intelligent agents. Initially the symptoms are preprocessed using filter and wrapper based agents. The filter removes the missing or irrelevant…
The classification of carotid artery ultrasound images is a crucial means for diagnosing carotid plaques, holding significant clinical relevance for predicting the risk of stroke. Recent research suggests that utilizing plaque segmentation…
Coronary heart disease (CHD) remains a leading cause of mortality worldwide. This study introduces a novel approach that integrates patient-specific Multi-slice CT scans into CAD models, using a one-dimensional numerical framework to assess…
Coronary Artery Disease (CAD) remains a leading cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide. Early detection is critical to recover patient outcomes and decrease healthcare costs. In recent years, machine learning (ML) advancements have…
Coronary heart disease (CHD) is the leading cause of adult death in the United States and worldwide, and for which the coronary angiography procedure is the primary gateway for diagnosis and clinical management decisions. The…
Computer-aided diagnosis (CAD) systems stand out as potent aids for physicians in identifying the novel Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) through medical imaging modalities. In this paper, we showcase the integration and reliable and fast…
Advances in optical coherence tomography (OCT) have enabled noninvasive imaging of substructures of the human retina with high spatial resolution. OCT examinations are now a standard procedure in clinics and an integral part of ophthalmic…
This paper describes an ongoing multi-scale visual analytics approach for exploring and analyzing biomedical knowledge at scale.We utilize global and local views, hierarchical and flow-based graph layouts, multi-faceted search, neighborhood…
Cardiac fluid dynamics fundamentally involves interactions between complex blood flows and the structural deformations of the muscular heart walls and the thin, flexible valve leaflets. There has been longstanding scientific, engineering,…
Coronary artery calcification (CAC) is a strong and independent predictor of cardiovascular disease (CVD). However, manual assessment of CAC often requires radiological expertise, time, and invasive imaging techniques. The purpose of this…
Image-based modeling is essential for understanding cardiovascular hemodynamics and advancing the diagnosis and treatment of cardiovascular diseases. Constructing patient-specific vascular models remains labor-intensive, error-prone, and…
Coronary Microvascular Dysfunction (CMD) is characterized by impaired vasodilation and can lead to insufficient blood flow to the myocardium during stress or exertion, affecting millions of people globally. Despite their diagnostic value,…
