What It Is

CIMT Testing
 at Nexus

CIMT measures the thickness of the inner two layers of the carotid artery wall. Because arterial disease is a systemic process, changes in the carotid arteries reflect what is likely happening in arteries throughout the body. The result can be compared against age-based norms, sometimes expressed as an arterial age, and can identify soft, non-calcified plaque that calcium scoring may miss.
