NCT ID NCT02726984
First seen Nov 01, 2025 · Last updated May 25, 2026 · Updated 28 times
Summary
This study tested whether a special PET/MR scan can detect which carotid artery plaques are more likely to cause a stroke. Researchers compared 12 people with recent stroke symptoms and 6 without symptoms, all having significant plaque buildup. The goal was to see if the scan could identify dangerous plaques better than current methods. This was a small pilot study to gather information, not a treatment trial.
