Revision[edit]

I have made a start on revising this article which needs some expansion. Currently work in progress Adh (talk) 11:11, 5 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Ultrasound CIMT measurement availability[edit]

The paragraph (introduced by this edit)

"As of 2007, while IMT has increasingly become easier to measure using higher grade equipment and careful attention to image quality, most clinical carotid ultrasound software in widespread use in the United States is not designed to easily facilitate measurement of IMT and most clinical ultrasound technicians remain unfamiliar with either performing or the importance of IMT measurements. Instead, most carotid ultrasound examinations remain focused on the older concept of measuring blood velocities within the lumen as an indication of the anatomic changes that occur after disease has progressed to advanced stages of severity."

although relevant if true, contains no citations for its claims. (It also seems US centric, and may be out of date.) 81.159.74.184 (talk) 21:39, 29 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

It has been suggested that Atheroma#Proxy_measurement be merged into this article[edit]

Seems like a good idea to me Adh (talk) 00:10, 13 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I looked at doing this, but none of the material is referenced, and all of the relevant ideas are already on this page. Therefore, deleting the section on the Atheroma page, after ensuring that a link remains. Klbrain (talk) 01:22, 6 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Article title[edit]

Article title needs to be amended to reflect correct punctuation, replacing the hyphen (-) with an en-dash (–). Check the linked articles. —DIV (120.17.227.137 (talk) 12:18, 24 June 2018 (UTC))[reply]
