Show abstract
The objective of this study was to evaluate initial feasibility and improvement in the detection of calcified carotid arteries by including quantitative susceptibility mapping (QSM) in the carotid vessel wall multi-contrast MRI (mcMRI) protocol using CTA as the reference standard. In a pilot cohort of ten patients with significant carotid artery stenosis, calcified vessel detection by mcMRI achieved 64.7% sensitivity and 100% specificity. Adding QSM to mcMRI improved sensitivity to 100% while not affecting specificity.

"Similar papers" are the closest papers from that journal in the model's embedding space. They show what the match is built on, but the ranking comes mostly from a classifier over the whole training set, not from these examples alone.
