Measurement of carotid intima-media thickness by Esaote wall tracking (QAS, MyLab) system. The movement of carotid walls is tracked in the entire region of interest (green rectangle) composed of 32 scanning lines. Continuous red lines indicate the automatic positioning of wall-tracking points at the media-adventitia interface. Continuous green lines show dynamically the amplified vessel wall movement. The values of carotid intima-media thickness (QIMT) and minimum diameter (D) are displayed on the screen, and the average value (AVG) over the last six beats and SD are continuously calculated.
