One-scan brain imaging for stroke and blood vessel disease
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study tests a single CT scan that combines three types of imaging to look at blood vessels and blood flow in the brain. It may help doctors better understand conditions like stroke, narrowed vessels, or aneurysms without needing multiple scans.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You are 18 years or older.
- You have a condition like narrowed or blocked neck or brain arteries, moyamoya disease, an aneurysm, or have had a stroke or chronic lack of blood flow to the brain.

- You can complete the scan and the images are clear enough for diagnosis.
- You or your family agree to share your medical information and allow follow-up.

This study tests a new imaging agent that may help doctors see how blood flows in the brain after a stroke or mini-stroke. It could help guide treatment for people with severe narrowing in one of the main arteries in the neck or head.
This study is building a standard imaging database for people who have recently had a stroke. By participating, you will help doctors better understand how to use different types of scans to diagnose and treat cerebrovascular disease.
This study looks at whether a new type of CT scanner can take clearer pictures of stents in the brain. The goal is to help doctors see if the stent is working well after it's been placed.
This study uses advanced PET/MRI scans to measure blood flow and sugar use in the brain. It is for people who have had a stroke or mini-stroke in the past year due to a severely narrowed carotid artery.
This study uses advanced CT scans to get a better look at bleeding in the brain (hemorrhagic stroke). It may help doctors understand the stroke and guide care.
This study looks at how blood flow in the small vessels of the brain is affected after a stroke or in cerebral small vessel disease. It aims to better understand these conditions, which could help improve care in the future.
