Ultrasound carotid plaque segmentation via image reconstruction-based self-supervised learning with limited training labels

Carotid total plaque area (TPA) is an important contributing measurement to the evaluation of stroke risk. Deep learning provides an efficient method for ultrasound carotid plaque segmentation and TPA quantification. However, high performance of deep learning requires datasets with many labeled imag...
