New imaging study aims to sharpen stroke risk detection
NCT ID NCT07079345
First seen Nov 20, 2025
Summary
This observational study will use combined PET/MR scans to measure blood flow and glucose metabolism in the brains of 200 people with severe carotid artery narrowing. Participants have already had a mini-stroke or stroke in the past year. The goal is to develop better imaging markers to evaluate disease and guide treatment, not to test a new drug or procedure.
