common carotid artery- runs upward in the neck and divides into the external and internal carotid arteries common carotid arteria carotis,carotid artery- either of two major arteries of the neck and head; branches from the aorta Based on WordNet 3.0, Farlex clipart collection. © 2003-2012 ...
Ultrasound scans were acquired from a common carotid artery in a patient with an early atherosclerotic plaque forming a mild asymmetrical stenosis. The 3D vascular geometry of the diseased arterial segment was reconstructed from a series of 2D cross-sectional images, and computational meshes for the ...
Ultrasound common carotid artery segmentation based on active shape model.doi:10.1155/2013/345968Carotid atherosclerosis is a major reason of stroke, a leading cause of death and disability. In this paper, a segmentation method based on Active Shape Model (ASM) is developed and evaluated to ...
ultrasound can document degree of stenosis for extrathoracic lesions and determine flow directionality of the internal andcommon carotid artery, but lesions of the common carotid origin are often better imaged withcomputed tomographic angiography,magnetic resonance angiography, or conventional contrast ...
The Feasibility and Limitation of Fusion Imaging of 3D-CT Angiography and 2D-CT Sagittal Imaging for Carotid Endarterectomy with High-position Internal Car... Carotid endarterectomy (CEA) is a standard treatment for internal carotid artery (ICA) stenosis. The level of carotid bifurcation of Japanese...
Real-time impairment of ocular blood flow (OBF) under common carotid artery stenosis (CCAS) has not been ascertained. We aimed to longitudinally assess the impact of CCAS on OBF using a rabbit model. About 75% stenosis was created by tying the common carotid artery with a plastic mandrel ...
Atherosclerosis within the carotid bifurcation and internal carotid artery, as measured by carotid stenosis scores, was significantly greater in both coronary artery patient groups compared with vascular disease-free controls but was not associated with ISR. Conclusions.—Intimal thickening within the ...
Endarterectomy of the left carotid bifurcation was performed. Follow-up color duplex sonography 3 months later revealed a small increase of stenosis in the left CCA and mild stenosis in the left ICA. The right CCA remained occluded, but reversed flow with a high-resistance flow pattern was seen...
The recent development of Doppler ultrasonographic methods has permitted improved evaluation of the carotid circulation in hypertensive humans. It is possible not only to detect significant stenosis of the internal carotid artery using continuous Doppler systems but also to quantitatively evaluate carotid ...
