Automatic Detection and Measurement of Atherosclerotic Plaques in Carotid Ultrasound Using Deep Learning
Ultrasound imaging is commonly used for detection and measurement of carotid plaques, an important cause of ischemic stroke. Despite its importance, accurate interpretation of ultrasound can be difficult and subjective. Here, we evaluated the accuracy of our deep learning model for automatic detection of carotid plaques in b-mode ultrasound against expert interpretation of the images.
