New scan technique could predict stroke by spotting dangerous plaque
NCT ID NCT07004673
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether a special PET/MR scan can tell which fatty deposits in the neck arteries are likely to cause a stroke. About 100 adults with known carotid plaque will get two types of PET tracers along with MRI to measure inflammation and scarring inside the plaque. Researchers will then track strokes and artery health for up to a year to see if the scan can predict future problems.
