Purpose • Measures two inner layers • Establishes risk profiles • Classifies patients with intermediate vascular disease • A vascular age will not be calculated 3 Unrestricted © Siemens Healthineers 2024 Speaker notes: The Auto IMT with preview function can be performed in a few simple steps. After placing a region of interest (ROI) over the wall of the vessel, it automatically locates and measures the thickness of the two inner layers of the carotid artery, the tunica intima and the tunica media. This technology will help to establish risk profiles, and to classify patients with intermediate vascular disease. Patients that already have calcified plaque present in the carotid artery, are usually excluded from having this evaluation. When complete, a vascular age will not be calculated.

There is a dotted guidance line to the left of the ROI to help support more consistent alignment. Once the ROI is placed, a preview of the intima outline can be seen. The outline can be easily edited if adjustments are needed. Notes No. 5 SIEMENS Healthineers Auto IMT with Preview Function SIEMENS .... Healthineers ... Technology Auto IMT report results Output • Results seen are configurable Per label configuration C10 • Max Maximum and Mean Mean • Min • Minimum (optional) 4 • Intima Media Thickness (IMT) – C10 (optional) • Japan required output 6 Unrestricted © Siemens Healthineers 2024 Speaker notes: The Auto IMT results displayed in the report are configurable using the per label configuration page in System Configuration > Measurement & Report. The maximum and mean values are always displayed in the measurements display area (MDA). The C10 value is a measurement used in Japan and is automatically calculated when placing the dotted reference line at the origin of the bulb. The measurement is located 10 mm from the bulb origin, as shown in this enlarged view, indicated by the two triangles at the left edge of the intima tracings. Displaying the Minimum (Min) or C10 values are optional. The measurement and report package and steps to perform an IMT measurement will be covered later in the presentation.
