Carotid Artery plus CIMT
As we age, the risk of heart attack or stroke increases. That's why it's important to take preventive measures, such as getting the CIMT test and Carotid ultrasound
Carotid Ultrasound plus CIMT
includes radiologist report
Arterial Age Screening
What is the CIMT test?
The CIMT test measures the thickness of the walls of your carotid arteries, which are located in your neck. It can detect early signs of atherosclerosis, which is the buildup of plaque in your arteries.
What is a Carotid Artery Ultrasound?
Where we evaluate 3 arterial segments for a complete Plaque and Blood flow evaluation.
By combining the carotid ultrasound and CIMT measurement, we can get a more complete picture of your risk of heart attack or stroke.

What is a Carotid Ultrasound plus CIMT?
A CIMT Test (also known as Carotid Intima-Media Thickness scan) is used to assess the thickness of the inner layers of the carotid arteries. This non-invasive medical test uses sound waves to diagnose and monitor the carotid artery walls in the neck to identify potential risks of atherosclerosis.
In this procedure, a sonographer places a transducer (a piece of ultrasound equipment that looks like a microphone) on a patient's neck, enabling a real-time visualization of the thickness of the intima and media layers of the carotid arteries and check for the potential presence of atherosclerotic plaques.
Here at the Atlanta Ultrasound Clinic, we have the most up-to-date ultrasound equipment to provide unparalleled accuracy and offer the highest quality service and medical imaging interpretation for our patients.
When you get a CIMT imaging scan with us, a certified and licensed sonographer will record images of your carotid arteries, which are then analyzed by a board-certified radiologist after the scan finishes.
During this analysis, our board-certified radiologist will write a detailed report explaining the measured thickness of the intima and media layers within your carotid arteries – indicating any potential risks or the presence of atherosclerosis.
If there are any abnormalities or conditions identified during the scan, these will be included in the report also.
What Conditions Can a CIMT Test Help Diagnose or Monitor?
The CIMT test is helpful for assessing one's risk of stroke, heart attack, and other cardiovascular diseases by detecting the presence of atherosclerotic plaque in the carotid arteries located in the neck region. An estimated arterial age is provided in the radiology report, as well as an estimated risk factor for a negative cardiovascular event.
