In vitro agreement supports B-mode IMT feasibility; leaves open in vivo validation and clinical translation.
Does B-mode real-time ultrasound imaging accurately measure intimal + medial thickness in human arteries compared to pathologic examination?
B-mode ultrasound imaging is a feasible and accurate non-invasive method for directly measuring the intimal-medial thickness of human arteries in vivo.
Pignoli et al. (1986) studied this question.
