Brain scan reveals hidden cause of Post-Stroke memory loss
NCT ID NCT02813434
First seen Jun 13, 2026 · Last updated Jun 13, 2026
Summary
This study tested whether a special PET scan using a radioactive tracer called Florbetapir can detect amyloid plaques in the brains of people who develop memory problems after a stroke. 92 adults aged 40-80 with a recent stroke and cognitive issues were scanned to see how often abnormal amyloid buildup occurs. The goal was to improve diagnosis of dementia causes after stroke, not to treat the condition.
