General measurement data showing mean values of intima-media thickness (IMT) and the distribution of common carotid arteries (CCA) divided by angle of view and groups of normal and thickened vessels. Combined views represent the thickest measurement obtained from the two longitudinal views

View	Mean intima-media thickness (mm)			Distribution of CCA in units (%)
	General	IMT up to 1.0mm	IMT > 1.0mm	IMT up to 1.0mm	IMT > 1.0mm
Longitudinal AL	1.174±0.542	0.764±0.129	1.387±0.553	190 (47.7)	208 (52.3)
Longitudinal PL	1.186±0.583	0.75±0.14	1.412±0.597	197 (48.4)	207(50.9)
Combined AL/PL	1.306±0.618	0.811±0.119	1.554±0.61	159 (39.2)	247 (60.8)
