研究概览

简要总结

Develop a standard technique and demonstrate adequate precision for measurement of intima-media thickness (IMT) for routine clinical use.

详细描述

IMT is measured using software to analyze ECG-gated US image sequences acquired using a standard protocol. Two sonographers acquire images and measure IMT for 100 vessels. IMT technique standard deviation (SD) is determined by assuming normally distributed measurements, and dividing the SD of the 100 (paired) IMT differences by sqrt(2). This SD will be taken as measures of precision of the IMT technique.
