Non-invasive ultrasound imaging of carotid plaques can provide information on the characteristics of the arterial wall including the size and consistency of atherosclerotic plaques. As presented until now this can be used to determine cerebrovascular risk stratification. The aim of this study is to continue the effort being done to estimate the risk based on the characteristics from ultrasound carotid images by applying an approach that produces lower and upper bounds for the conditional probability of the risk for a stroke event. The analysis is based on ultrasonic plaque texture features and clinical features in patients that were followed up for eight years and had asymptomatic internal carotid artery (ICA) stenosis at the baseline. The important addition of this work is that the proposed approach is much more informative than conventional techniques by providing reliable probabilities instead of a plain yes/no answer. |
