Boone Heart Institute’s Carotid-IMT test is performed by one of our highly trained technicians with a SonoSite portable ultrasound machine and can be taken anywhere. The machine’s reading device is placed up to your neck to check your artery lining thickness to the thousandth of a millimeter, which ensures the best accuracy in year-to-year repeat testing.  Once the test is complete your information will be analyzed at the Boone Heart Institute with our SonoCalc software by Doctor Boone himself. The results of this simple test will provide us with valuable insight into your current cardiovascular health, and your potential heart-attack risk rate.
