New MRI technique may reveal hidden stroke damage
NCT ID NCT03923439
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested a new, powerful MRI scan on 56 stroke patients to see if it could detect subtle brain damage not visible on standard scans. The goal was to better understand how much brain tissue is truly saved after treatment. The findings could help doctors predict recovery more accurately.
