Figure 1 How to measure the intima-media thickness (IMT), luminal diameter (LD), and interadventitial diameter (IAD). The distance from the luminal-intimal interface of the near wall to that of the far wall was defined as the LD, and the distance from the collagen-containing inner layer of the tunica adventitia of the near wall to that of the far wall was defined as the IAD.
