Why CIMT screening matters
Traditional cholesterol panels and stress tests miss early-stage cardiovascular disease — the years-long window when arterial plaque is quietly forming but hasn't yet caused symptoms. By the time chest pain or shortness of breath appears, the disease is often advanced.
CIMT (Carotid Intima-Media Thickness) is a non-invasive ultrasound that measures the thickness of the two inner layers of the carotid artery wall. Increased thickness is one of the earliest visible markers of atherosclerosis — up to a decade before it would show on a standard cardiac workup.
Our mobile CIMT service brings the equipment, technician, and interpretation directly to concierge, holistic, and primary care practices — no capital investment, no added staff burden, and a straightforward cash-pay preventive service patients actively seek out.
Common questions about CIMT
›How long does a CIMT screening take?
About 15 minutes per patient. It's a quick, painless ultrasound with no prep required — patients can eat, drink, and take medications normally before the exam.
›Is CIMT covered by insurance?
CIMT is typically a cash-pay preventive service. Most practices price it between $250–$450 per scan. Patients pay directly, which makes it a clean revenue line for your clinic.
›How is CIMT different from a coronary calcium scan (CTA)?
CT angiography uses X-ray radiation and iodine contrast. CIMT uses zero radiation — just sound waves — and can be performed as often as annually to track progression or improvement.
›What equipment does my practice need?
None. Our mobile team brings the ultrasound unit, performs the scans, and delivers interpreted reports back to your practice. You provide a private exam room and the patients.
