New 3D scan aims to spot Stroke-Causing plaque before it strikes

NCT ID NCT07298655

Summary

This study is testing a new 3D ultrasound imaging method to better detect dangerous plaque buildup in the neck arteries (carotid arteries). The goal is to see if this new 3D scan can spot tiny, fragile blood vessels growing inside these plaques, which is a sign they might rupture and cause a stroke. Researchers will compare the new 3D images to standard 2D ultrasound scans in a small group of 10 participants who already have carotid plaque.
