New scan aims to spot dangerous artery plaques before they cause stroke
NCT ID NCT02726984
Summary
This study tested a new type of combined PET/MRI scan to see if it could better identify dangerous, unstable plaques in the carotid arteries. Researchers compared scans from 12 people, half who had recently had a stroke and half who had not, to look for differences. The goal was to gather knowledge that could one day help doctors predict which patients are at highest risk for a future stroke.
