"We agree with Dr. Ozkan et al. that minimization of variation or error in carotid intima-media thickness (cIMT) measurement is crucial for both research and clinical applications. Technical matters like dynamic range, output and receiver gains, transducer frequency, and number of measurements were taken into consideration while measuring the cIMT of our studied cases; we did not mention these details because of brevity and because they are well known to pediatric cardiologists. All measurements of cIMT of our studied cases were done at end diastole gated by R wave on electrocardiography."
