NCT ID NCT02829190
First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 24, 2026
Summary
This study is testing a special type of MRI that can measure blood flow in the branches of the external carotid artery. The goal is to see if this technique works well in both healthy people and those with certain medical histories, such as prior radiation therapy or surgery. If successful, it may help surgeons better plan complex head and neck procedures. The study is currently recruiting 80 participants.
