Computer based IMT measurements by
B-mode ultrasound imaging are best for
measuring IMT with an accuracy
of 0.1 mm. IntimaScope 1.0 can achieve
automatic detection and modification of
IMT simultaneously. The IMT points are detected
by a polynomial regression line.
The most accurate IMT must be measured by
right angle on the surface wall of the carotid artery.
The IntimaScope software gives the most
accurate measurement to date. We use IMT data
accumulated in cooperation with
the Osaka University School of Medicine in Japan.
This software includes a simple database
which makes it convenient for follow-up
examinations.
We received a patent in Japan for our arterial
sclerosis diagnosing system using IMT in 1999,
and one in the US in 2000. (US# 6,132,373).
We will continue to improve and develop
this system in the future.
