A total of 117 Japanese subjects (62 men and 55 women) volunteered for the study. Subcutaneous adipose tissue (AT) and muscle thicknesses were measured by B-mode ultrasonography at nine sites of the body. Body density (BD) was determined the hydrodensitometry.

## 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
Measurements of arterial diameter throughout the cardiac cycle (i.e., the arterial distension waveform) are conducted increasingly to study mechanical properties of the arterial wall and changes associated with disease. The distension waveform of peripheral arteries can be measured noninvasively via
