CIMT Screening at AAOSH Meeting

CIMT Ultrasound Screening identifies the quantitative amount of plaque buildup within the walls of a blood vessel. AAOSH is pleased to announce that VasoLabs will be at the AAOSH Scientific Session meeting in Las Vegas and offering CIMT Screening to meeting attendees.

If you have frequented AAOSH much, or been around Dr. Brad Bale or Amy Doneen much, you will already know about CIMT. Regardless, if you are at the AAOSH Las Vegas meeting you will have a unique and incredible opportunity to see it up close – and to have your own CIMT scan performed!

CIMT is an acronym that stands for “Carotid Intima-Media Thickness” and is associated with the procedure of Carotid ultrasound. CIMT Ultrasound Screening identifies the quantitative amount of plaque buildup within the walls of a blood vessel, in this case the carotid artery. When plaque is found it indicates the presence of the vascular disease process, allowing patients and their physicians to focus on treatment and lifestyle changes that can arrest the disease process.

AAOSH is pleased to announce that VasoLabs will be at the AAOSH Scientific Session meeting in Las Vegas and offering CIMT Screening to meeting attendees. Screening results can be taken home and utilized with healthcare professionals as part of an overall strategy for cardiovascular disease intervention and treatment.

Dr. Chip Whitney will speak about the CIMT and how it is utilized in medicine and dentistry, and he and Joseph Ence will be co-presenting a CIMT workshop on Sunday morning to further explain its place and function in healthcare.
