The C5Research CIMT Core Laboratory provides an unbiased interpretation of the results of pharmaceutical intervention in carotid artery disease recorded ultrasonographically.

The CIMT Core Lab has experienced, fulltime research technologists who use a consistent set of analysis definitions and undergo extensive training in order to perform quantitative CIMT assessments. All these factors make us uniquely qualified to analyze CIMT endpoints in multicenter clinical trials.

We develop and customize the imaging protocols for each project. These protocols instruct the collaborating centers on the minimum ultrasonographic requirements for patients in the trial. Protocol adherence and image quality is evaluated starting with the first protocol patient..

The CIMT Core Lab also can provide extensive training for sponsor project team members, CRO/ARO project team members, Research Coordinators and Principal Investigators. This training uses handout material, slide presentations and video examples of research level CIMT imaging..
