IMT (Intimal Medial Thickness)
Ultrasound visualizing of the thickness and health of the carotid artery (the main artery leading to the brain).
Evaluates: Thickness Of The Wall
An IMT is one of the best methods for early detection of cardiovascular disease. With great accuracy, it can predict risk of an acute coronary event, i.e., a heart attack.

This study evaluates the capacity of the body to metabolize foods (burn calories) and assists in identifying possible alterations in lifestyle that can promote weight loss.
