Protect Your Heart, Know Your Arteries.

Intima Media Thickness Ultrasound: Your Heart Health in Focus.

Intima Media Thickness (IMT) Ultrasound is a non-invasive, quick procedure that assesses the health of your arteries by measuring the thickness of their inner walls. The scan helps predict the risk of heart attack and stroke by detecting plaque buildup and arterial conditions. Within minutes, a trained sonographer uses an ultrasound probe on the carotid arteries in your neck to obtain high-resolution images, which are then analyzed by advanced software. The results are reviewed by your physician, who will discuss the findings and recommend any necessary steps for treatment or lifestyle changes. The entire process is painless, radiation-free, and takes just 10 minutes.

Intima Media Thickness Ultrasound: Your Heart Health in Focus.

Intima Media Thickness Ultrasound is designed to assess the risk of heart disease and stroke by evaluating plaque buildup in the arteries. Over time, genetic and environmental factors can contribute to inflammation in the arterial walls, causing plaque to form. When this plaque ruptures, it may lead to blood clots, which can block blood vessels and reduce blood flow, ultimately increasing the risk of a heart attack or stroke. The IMT scan offers a way to detect these issues early and allows physicians to recommend appropriate measures to reduce risk and prevent further complications.
