a Scanning process in a 65-year-old patient with plaque, yielding high-quality transverse and longitudinal views with clear plaque visibility. b Image analysis of acquired scans, including biometric measurements, plaque segmentation, and color/pulse Doppler. c Representative report summarizing scanning and analysis results. d Representative plaque segmentation results of patients. The terms “CCA”, “ICE”, “ECA”, “PMH”, “PSV”, “EDV”, “RI” refer to the common carotid artery, internal carotid artery, external carotid artery, past medical history, peak systolic velocity, end diastolic velocity, and resistive factor, respectively.
