Systematic review evaluates diagnostic effectiveness of AI methods in carotid plaque detection, suggesting improvements needed for real-world application.
Radiomics algorithms and DL models can effectively diagnose extracranial carotid plaque. However, there are concerns regarding irregularities in research design and the absence of multicenter studies and external validation. Future research should aim to reduce bias risk and enhance the generalizability and clinical orientation of the models.
