The system supports the data collected from the Asymptomatic Carotid Stenosis and Risk of Stroke (ACSRS) natural history study that includes following data: 1) clinical, biochemical, and electrocardiographic risk factors associated with cardiovascular deaths, and 2) whether any independent risk factors can be used to identify a high-risk group for cardiovascular death. Furthermore, the carotid plaque texture analysis module supports the normalization, despeckling, segmentation, texture feature extraction, and classification of ultrasound plaque images. | URI: | https://hdl.handle.net/20.500.14279/23643 | ISSN: | 19374186 | DOI: | 10.1109/EMB.2007.901794 | Rights: | © IEEE | Type: | Article | Affiliation : | University of Cyprus Cyprus Institute of Neurology and Genetics University of New Mexico |
