Window to the brain: eye scans reveal stroke clues
NCT ID NCT04712747
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study used a special eye-imaging technique called adaptive optics to look at tiny blood vessels in the retina of people who recently had a stroke. Researchers compared these images to those from healthy individuals to see if the blood vessel structure differs. The goal was to better understand how stroke affects the body's smallest blood vessels.
