Generally speaking, IMT
screening is a helpful tool for the physician.
There are a lot of procedures for getting an IMT.
But literature, that more efficacy is reached by the computered
processing image. This procedure is sharper than the manually
operated calliper technique. IMTHeartScanTM
is a 15 years of experience method of scanning the carotid
IMT, which is the GOLD-IMT.
Our founder, Dr. Jacques Barth,
began the technique and the prevention concepts long time
ago and went on continously improving the IMT
technology. IMTHeartScanTM
was used a a primary endpoint in numerous drug and clinical
research.
This procedure is now available for clinical diagnosis. Our
company uses the largest data base (40.000 patients) collected
during 10 years for setting individual risk.
Without this comparative base, any other technique or product
gives a no sense mesurement. The success of the IMTHeartScan
can not be matched if one do not have a large research with
a lot of different ethnical and ages data. Other data bases
do not have the diversity and the volume than ours.
