Ultrasound asymptomatic carotid plaque image analysis for the prediction of the risk of stroke
This chapter presents methods that can be used for evaluation of high cerebrovascular risk using the texture and morphological appearance of plaques in combination with a number of clinical factors for the estimation of the stroke risk. Images and results presented are based on the analysis of images that were collected through a multicenter cohort study of patients with asymptomatic ICA called Asymptomatic Carotid Stenosis and Risk of Stroke (ACSRS).
