To enhance diagnostic efficiency, Toshiba America Medical Systems, Inc. has introduced Auto-IMT™, an ultrasound software tool that can measure the thickness of the intima-media layers of the ...

The accuracy of measurements of the intima–media thickness (IMT) and flow-mediated dilatation (FMD) of the brachial artery made using a new semiautomated ultrasound system and the relationships ...

IMT represents mainly hypertensive medial hypertrophy; this measure is more predictive of stroke than of myocardial infarction, and is only weakly associated with traditional coronary risk factors.

December 3, 2010 (Naples, Italy) — Do changes in carotid intima-media thickness (IMT) assessed by ultrasound actually foretell future cardiovascular events? A study published this week calls ...

B-mode ultrasound imaging is a sensitive and reproducible method for assessment of carotid IMT, and in observational studies, the thickness of the tunica intima and media predicts future CVD events.

Atherosclerosis, which is the underlying cause of a large proportion of strokes, has traditionally been assessed by measuring carotid intima–media thickness. As David Spence discusses in this ...

Four new abstracts presented at the 2022 EULAR Congress in Copenhagen examined the use of ultrasound for the ... features and scores based on IMT measurements of both visually normal ...

Intima-media thickness (IMT) of the carotid artery can easily be evaluated by non-invasive ultrasound technique. The technique is standardized, has a high reproducibility and allows monitoring ...
