CT scan study for brain blood vessel conditions
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial tests a single CT scan that combines three types of images to look at blood vessels and blood flow in the brain. It may help people with narrowed or blocked arteries, moyamoya disease, aneurysms, or other blood vessel problems in the head and neck.

This trial is testing whether a special heart CT scan (coronary CT angiography) can help doctors better understand and treat calcium buildup in your heart arteries. If you have a type of heart disease that might need a stent or other procedure, this study could help decide the best approach.
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 tests a new type of CT scanner that gives clearer pictures of the stent in the vein in your head after it has been placed. The goal is to see if this new scanner helps doctors see the stent better and spot any problems more easily.
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 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 brain scans (CT or MRI) relate to symptoms in people with blood vessel problems in the brain. If you've already had a brain scan for medical reasons, you may be able to join.
