BackgroundCarotid atherosclerosis is a major contributor in the etiology of ischemic stroke. Although intraplaque hemorrhage (IPH) is known to increase stroke risk and plaque burden, its long-term effects on plaque dynamics remain unclear. This study aimed to evaluate the long-term impact of IPH on carotid plaque burden progression using deep learning-based segmentation on multi-contrast magnetic resonance vessel wall imaging (VWI). MethodsTwenty-eight asymptomatic subjects with carotid atheros...
