For medical & dental practices

Bring CIMT screening to your patients.

We partner with physicians, dental practices, and wellness organizations to host on-site screening days. Your patients gain direct insight into their cardiovascular health — you gain a powerful risk-assessment tool with no equipment investment.

How partnership works

We handle the screening. You provide the care.

On-site events

We bring equipment, technicians, scheduling, and reporting to your location — a turnkey screening day.

Physician-ready reports

Standardized imaging and measurements for every patient, written to drop into your workflow.

Pre-filled ordering page

Each partner practice gets its own pre-filled ordering page, so your team can order a patient's scan in a few clicks.

Repeat tracking

Annual re-screening helps your practice monitor change in each patient over time.

A turnkey screening day

How does a CIMT screening day work?

From first call to follow-up, we handle the logistics so your team can focus on patients.

01

We schedule with your office

We agree on a date and a simple room setup, and help you invite the right patients with ready-made materials.

02

We bring everything on the day

Certified sonographers arrive with the ultrasound equipment, check-in, and scheduling — no capital cost or equipment for you to maintain.

03

Your patients are scanned

Each CIMT scan takes about 15 minutes. Patients stay clothed and comfortable, with no prep, needles, or radiation.

04

You receive physician-ready reports

Standardized images and measurements for every patient, written to drop cleanly into your workflow and prevention conversations.

05

We re-screen over time

Annual re-screening helps you and your patients monitor change in the artery wall over time.

Why practices partner

A prevention conversation, backed by evidence.

A CIMT report turns “you should watch your heart health” into something concrete a patient can see — which makes prevention conversations land, and follow-through more likely.

  • No capital cost or equipment to maintain
  • A differentiated, preventive offering for your patients
  • Support materials that explain results without alarm

The clinical case

Why CIMT, alongside the labs you already order

CIMT is a non-invasive look at the artery wall itself — a complement to risk calculators and lipid panels, not a replacement.

  • Sees structure, not just risk factors. Carotid intima-media thickness is a recognized marker of subclinical atherosclerosis.
  • Catches change early. Wall thickening can appear before the flow-limiting stenosis that duplex screening is designed to flag.
  • Helps reclassify borderline patients. A concrete image can support shared decisions for patients between clear “low” and “high” risk.
  • Trackable over time. A reproducible baseline lets you and your patient see the direction of change at re-screening.

Partner questions

What practices ask before partnering

What does it cost our practice?

There's no capital cost and no equipment to buy or maintain. We'll walk you through the simple terms for a screening day when we talk.

Who performs and reviews the scans?

Scans are performed by trained sonographers, and the resulting reports are reviewed by qualified clinicians before they're provided to you and your patient.

What do we need to host a screening day?

A room or quiet space, a point of contact to coordinate scheduling, and a list of patients you'd like to invite. We bring everything else.

How are patients billed?

Screenings are typically self-pay for the patient, and HSA/FSA funds may apply. We handle patient-facing booking and payment through your branded page.

How long is a typical screening day?

It depends on patient volume — each scan takes about 15 minutes. We'll help you plan a schedule that fits your day.
