AI-powered spectral CT analysis for clinical decision support in carotid vulnerable plaque detection: a deep learning approach
Yunzhe Ni, Tianyu Zhang, Zonghui Huang, Yue Wang, Guochao Han, Lin Yuan, et al.
Carotid vulnerable plaques (CVPs) represent a major cause of ischemic stroke, yet current diagnostic methods lack sufficient precision for early detection. Spectral computed tomography (CT) enables detailed plaque characterization, but its clinical utility depends on advanced ana…
