Cardiovascular Informatics: Explainable Models for Personalised Integrated Stroke Ultrasound Video Analysis
Approximately 15% of all strokes are the result of carotid bifurcation atherosclerosis but at present, there is no established set of features that can identify all the potentially unstable and high-risk plaques. The overall objective of this work is to develop an integrated intelligent system for the stratification of stroke risk patients combining different clinical and imaging risk factors based on the morphology and motion characteristics of the ultrasound video images of carotid bifurcation plaques producing moderate to severe stenosis (more than 70%).
