NCT ID NCT04571177
First seen Apr 14, 2026 · Last updated May 25, 2026 · Updated 7 times
Summary
This study compares two types of brain scans — PET and CT — in 20 adults who recently had a stroke. The goal is to see how well PET measures blood flow and brain metabolism compared to standard CT scans. Participants get both scans within a week of their stroke, and some may have an extra PET scan. No new treatment is tested; the study is purely about improving imaging methods.
