  1. Identification of potential clinical indicators of carotid plaque disruption using patient specific finite element modelling

    Creane, ArthurDublin City University2011

    … wall may provide an indicator of atherosclerotic plaque disruption. Many studies have used patient specific finite element models to estimate the stress environment in atherosclerotic plaques, attempting to correlate the magnitude of stress to plaque vulnerability. This thesis investigates the …

  3. Classification of atherosclerotic plaque vulnerability by mechano-radiomics

    Meddings, ZakariaUniversity of Cambridge2023

    … magnetic resonance (MR) images can help evaluate carotid plaque vulnerability better than conventional MR methods. Hemodynamic forces have long been associated with the destabilization of developed plaques near regions of complex blood flow e.g., the carotid bifurcation, which results in high wall …

    Usman, AmmaraUniversity of Cambridge2019

    … of ischaemic strokes resulting from underlying carotid atherosclerotic disease. The clinical management of carotid artery disease relies primarily on the evaluation of the severity of carotid artery luminal stenosis. However, there is growing evidence that morphological and functional …

    Yuan, JianminUniversity of Cambridge2017

    … with 20% of ischemic strokes attributed to carotid atherosclerosis. In recent years, morphological characteristics of atherosclerotic plaque such as a thin fibrous cap, large lipid-rich necrotic core, intraplaque haemorrhage and ulceration have shown correlations with subsequent clinical …

  6. Ultrasound features of human carotid plaques

    Östling, GerdDepartment of Clinical Sciences, Lund University2013

    Atherosclerotic plaques in the carotid arteries are common in a middle-aged population. When a carotid plaque ruptures it may result in a cerebrovascular event. However, only a minor part of carotid plaques will eventually rupture. Finding those plaques is essential to decide the most appropriate …

Imaging vascular inflammation affords a valuable marker of atherosclerotic disease activity to reveal important mechanistic insights for CVD research, to quantify early anti-inflammatory effects of new atherosclerosis …
