From: Sequentially based analysis versus image based analysis of Intima Media Thickness in common carotid arteries studies - Do major IMT studies underestimate the true relations for cardio- and cerebrovascular risk?

Figure 2

Part A represents the image based analysis of an Intima Media layer analysis at the R-wave of the ECG (Image0). The line represents the IMT value over the length of 1 cm proximal to the CCA opening to the Bulb in mm. A1 points to the Maximum value (0.87 mm), B1 to the Minimum (0.79 mm) and C1 to the Mean value of the IMT image based analysis. C1 marks the result for an image based mean IMT value (0.84 mm here). Part B represents the sequential based analysis of the sequence containing the image analysed in part A (black dotted line = Image0). The maximum (A2), minimum (B2) and mean values (C2) over the sequence are shown. It clearly shows that the value of A1 (0.87 mm) is less than A2 (0.90 mm).
