Area of Science:

  • Medical Imaging
  • Artificial Intelligence
  • Cardiovascular Disease

Background:

  • Carotid artery stenosis (CAS) is a major cause of ischemic stroke, often asymptomatic in early stages.
  • Early detection of CAS is crucial for preventing stroke and improving patient prognosis.
  • Current detection methods may be invasive or lack efficiency.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop a non-invasive, automated method for early Carotid Artery Stenosis (CAS) detection using CT imaging.
  • To improve the accuracy and efficiency of CAS assessment for stroke prevention.

Main Methods:

  • Utilized thresholding and Hessian-based Frangi filter for image preprocessing and vascular enhancement.
  • Developed a novel neural network, parameter shared axial attention (PSAA)-nnUNet, for automatic carotid artery segmentation.
  • Assessed CAS severity using the North American Symptomatic Carotid Endarterectomy Trial (NASCET) formula.

Main Results:

  • Achieved a segmentation accuracy of 0.82 for carotid arteries using the PSAA-nnUNet algorithm.
  • The developed non-invasive method demonstrated excellent accuracy in CAS assessment.
  • The system showed significant potential for clinical application in early CAS detection.

Conclusions:

  • The non-invasive, deep learning-based CAS assessment method shows high accuracy and potential for early stroke prevention.
  • PSAA-nnUNet offers a promising tool for automated carotid artery segmentation in CT imaging.
  • This approach could significantly enhance the early detection and management of carotid artery stenosis.
