      Neural networks to estimate the influence of cervix length on the prediction of spontaneous preterm delivery before 37 weeks 

      Neokleous,Kleanthis C.; Schizas, Christos N.; Neokleous,Kleanthis C.; Pattichis, Constantinos S.; Anastasopoulos, Panagiotis; Nikolaides, Kypros H. (2008)
      Neural networks were applied in an effort to predict the risk for early spontaneous preterm delivery using various demographic, clinical, and laboratory inputs. Furthermore, attention has been focused on the influence of ...

      Polymeric theranostics: Using polymer-based systems for simultaneous imaging and therapy 

      Krasia-Christoforou, T.; Georgiou, T. K. (2013)
      Polymer-based nanomedicine is a large and fast growing field. Polymer-based systems have been extensively used as therapeutic carriers as well as bioimaging agents for example in tumour diagnosis. However, fewer polymeric ...

      Prediction of high-risk asymptomatic carotid plaques based on ultrasonic image features 

      Kyriacou, Efthyvoulos C.; Petroudi, Styliani; Pattichis, Constantinos S.; Pattichis, Marios S.; Griffin, Maura B.; Kakkos, Stavros K.; Nicolaïdes, Andrew N. (2012)
      Carotid plaques have been associated with ipsilateral neurological symptoms. High-resolution ultrasound can provide information not only on the degree of carotid artery stenosis but also on the characteristics of the ...

      Segmentation of the common carotid intima-media complex in ultrasound images using active contours 

      Petroudi, Styliani; Loizou, Christos P.; Pantzaris, Marios C.; Pattichis, Constantinos S. (2012)
      The segmentation of the intima-media complex (IMC) of the common carotid artery (CCA) wall is important for the evaluation of the intima media thickness (IMT) on B-mode ultrasound (US) images. The IMT is considered an ...

      Ultrasound image texture analysis of the intima and media layers of the common carotid artery and its correlation with age and gender 

      Loizou, Christos P.; Pantzaris, Marios C.; Pattichis, Marios S.; Kyriacou, Efthyvoulos C.; Pattichis, Constantinos S. (2009)
      The intima-media thickness (IMT) of the common carotid artery (CCA) is widely used as an early indicator of cardiovascular disease (CVD). It was proposed but not thoroughly investigated that the composition and texture of ...

      Ultrasound imaging media layer texture analysis of the carotid artery 

      Loizou, Christos P.; Pantzaris, Marios C.; Nicolaïdes, Andrew N.; Spanias, Andreas S.; Pattichis, Marios S.; Pattichis, Constantinos S. (2008)
      The intima-media thickness (IMT) of the common carotid artery (CCA) is widely used as an early indicator of cardiovascular disease (CVD). It was proposed but not thoroughly investigated that the media layer (ML), its ...

      Variogram methods for texture classification of atherosclerotic plaque ultrasound images 

      Jeromin, O. M.; Pattichis, Marios S.; Pattichis, Constantinos S.; Kyriacou, Efthyvoulos C.; Nicolaïdes, Andrew N. (2006)
      Stroke is the third leading cause of death in the western world and the major cause of disability in adults. The type and stenosis of extracranial carotid artery disease is often responsible for ischemic strokes, transient ...
