Using an AI-assisted portable ultrasound to have a look at our carotid arteries ๐ซ๐ง
This quick, non-invasive scan can assess the carotid artery for plaque and calcification, as well as features such as carotid intima-media thickness (CIMT).
Why does it matter? Changes in the carotid arteries can be an early clue to atherosclerosis and overall cardiovascular risk, sometimes before symptoms appear.
AI-assisted ultrasound can also help make image acquisition and measurements faster and more consistent โ pretty amazing to see cardiovascular screening becoming increasingly portable and accessible.
Prevention starts with knowing whatโs happening beneath the surface.
