blood vessel wall thickness to blood vessel inner diameter ratio +  
A calculated measurement in which the ratio of the wall thickness (WT) of a blood vessel is divided by the inner diameter (ID) of that vessel at that location, and the result presented as a ratio, fraction, quotient or percentage, for example, WT/ID x 100. This measurement is often used to assess stenosis, a pathological narrowing of a blood vessel.
