  • In addition, to cope with challenging slices, for example, many popliteal vessel wall slices have calcified plaques, which are not so common in carotid vessel wall, we used the active learning idea. (clatfd.cn)
  • Based on our workstation with Intel Xeon CPU E5-1650 v4 @3.6GHz 6 cores, 64 GB memory, NVIDIA GeForce GTX TITAN V on Windows 10, the processing time for Testing Set 2 for artery localization, vessel wall segmentation and feature calculation is 65.2±19.8 seconds, 279.1±48.4 seconds, and 114.3±14.7 seconds, respectively.

  • This algorithm is then verified against numerical data simulated using commercial software. A linear analysis of this system, together with in rate waveform propagation obtains, shows that periodic mean pressures and flow distributions in large arteries are highly depend on vessel resistances and the compliances compared to the inertias of the system.

  • The axillary artery is a large blood vessel that carries oxygenated blood to various parts of the upper body. (healthline.com)
  • The pathogenetic mechanisms that lead to PVD are similar to those of coronary artery disease (CAD). (medscape.com)
  • The popliteal cysts lack Doppler flow unless they are infected or are inflammatory. (scirp.org)
  • CTA showed thrombus in the popliteal artery and poor flo. (aapc.com)
  • CTA showed thrombus in the popliteal artery and poor flow from the mid calf down He is here for a right leg. (aapc.com)
  • Karmakar MK, Reina MA, Sivakumar RK, Areeruk P, Pakpirom J, Sala-Blanch X. Ultrasound-guided subparaneural popliteal sciatic nerve block: there is more to it than meets the eyes. (medscape.com)
  • In this article, we review the chief US and MR characteristics of popliteal cysts and some biopsy proven cases of mimics of popliteal cysts in each of the broad categories of cystic tumors, vascular lesions and synovial based cystic lesions. (scirp.org)
  • In 62.5% of patients (10 people) the procedure was performed without any difficulties in restoring the full femoro-popliteal patency rate. (viamedica.pl)
  • Patients do experience moderate discomfort during a popliteal block because the needle traverses through the biceps femoris. (medscape.com)
  • Insert the needle 7-10 cm above the popliteal crease, 1 cm lateral to the point midway between the tendons of the semitendinosus and the biceps femoris. (medscape.com)
  • The three parts of the axillary artery work together to supply oxygenated blood to the thorax, upper limb, and axillary regions. (healthline.com)
  • Regardless of the reason for popliteal artery occlusion, intervention is indicated in patients with severe claudication that alters lifestyle and does not respond to medical treatment and in patients with CLI. (medscape.com)
  • After it comes out of adductor hiatus, it is called popliteal artery. (boneandspine.com)
