Intima-media thickness (IMT) refers to the measurement of the thickness of the two innermost layers of an artery: the intima and the media. This measurement is primarily used as an indicator of atherosclerosis and cardiovascular risk. The intima is the inner lining of the artery, and the media is the middle layer made up of smooth muscle cells.
