CIMT (Carotid Intima-Media Thickness) is a non-invasive test that measures the thickness of the inner layers of the carotid arteries—major blood vessels that supply blood to the brain. This test helps detect early plaque buildup and arterial narrowing, even before any symptoms appear.
An increased thickness of the arterial wall may indicate a higher risk of developing serious conditions such as coronary artery disease, stroke, paralysis, or other cardiovascular disorders.
