High-resolution ultrasonographic imaging is a noninvasive method that allows estimation of
the thickness of the intima-media complex in human carotid arteries. The determination of …

Background The early phase of atherosclerosis can be studied by two-dimensional B-mode
ultrasonography. Measurements of the combined thickness of the carotid intima and media …

The intima-media thickness (IMT) of carotid arteries was demonstrated to be a reliable
measure for early stages of atherosclerosis. B-mode ultrasound may be used to measure …

Intimal-medial thickness (IMT) of the inner arterial wall is a marker for early changes of
atherosclerosis. In order to assess the IMT of the common carotid artery (CCA), two …

Previous studies have used standard B-mode ultrasound to quantify the aggregate mean
intimal medial thickness (IMT) of the near and far wall of the common carotid artery (CCA) …

Introduction The aim of this study was to evaluate the feasibility and accuracy of
commercially available software directly implemented on the ultrasound scanner for …

Measurements of intimal-medial thickness (IMT) of the carotid artery by B-mode
ultrasonography are widely used as markers of atherosclerosis. This report describes …

Ultrasound of the carotid artery identifies the hypoechoic intima-medial layer (IML).
Increased granularity of the IML has been associated with early atherosclerosis. The aim of …

An early sign of atherosclerosis is hypertrophy of the arterial wall. Increased intima-media
thickness (IMT) is a non-invasive marker of arterial wall alteration, which can easily be …

B-mode ultrasound is a widely used technique for the clinical and epidemiological
assessment of carotid atherosclerosis. This article provides a description of the distribution …
