Radiomics assessment of carotid intraplaque hemorrhage: detecting the vulnerable patients

Abstract

Key points Distinguishing carotid plaques with intraplaque hemorrhage is difficult by conventional imaging. A radiomics nomogram facilitates differentiation of carotid plaques with intraplaque hemorrhage. CT-based nomogram may be a non-invasive tool to identify carotid plaque vulnerability.
