The intima-media thickness (IMT) of the arteries serves as a marker of generalized atherosclerosis and several studies have shown a positive association between IMT and incident stroke. Several software systems have been developed to detect IMT and artery diameter, with some trying to obtain and sho
## Abstract ## Purpose To determine whether the mean wall thickness (MWT) of the common carotid artery (CCA) measured by MRI is comparable to Bβmode ultrasound (US) measurement of the intimaβmedia thickness (IMT), an established marker of cardiovascular risk. ## Materials and Methods As part of
