CRESTomics: Analyzing Carotid Plaques in the CREST-2 Trial with a New Additive Classification Model

Researchers developed CRESTomics, a new AI-powered additive classification model that analyzes carotid plaques from ultrasound images to predict stroke risk. The study examined 500 plaques from the CREST-2 clinical trial and found strong correlations between plaque texture patterns and clinical risk assessment.
