Silent threat: scans probe hidden brain inflammation from clogged arteries

NCT ID NCT05238961

Summary

Researchers planned to use a special PET scan to measure this inflammation in two groups: those with severe blockages and those with mild blockages. The study was withdrawn before any participants were enrolled.
