High-resolution MRI to look at artery plaque
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This study uses a special MRI scan to get detailed images of plaque buildup in the arteries of your brain or neck. The goal is to better understand these plaques and help guide treatment for people with narrowed arteries.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older.
- You have a significant narrowing (50% to 99%) in one of the major arteries in your neck or brain.
- You are willing to have a high-resolution MRI with contrast dye.
- You do not have any metal implants or conditions that make MRI unsafe.
- You do not have severe kidney problems or allergies to the MRI contrast dye.

This study uses three advanced imaging methods (MRI, OCT, and angiography) to look at fatty plaques inside brain arteries and determine which ones are more likely to cause problems. It may help guide treatment for people with severe narrowing of an artery in the brain.
This study investigates the build-up of fatty deposits called plaques in arteries of the brain and neck using two different strengths of MRI scanners. It aims to understand how well these MRI techniques can image the plaques, which could help doctors better diagnose and manage stroke risk.
This trial uses special PET/MR scans to look at fatty buildup in your neck arteries to see which ones might be dangerous. It could help doctors better understand your stroke risk and choose the right treatment.
This trial uses special brain MRI to look closely at plaque in certain brain arteries after an ischemic stroke (when a blood vessel is blocked). It may help researchers better understand which plaques are most dangerous soon after stroke.
This study uses MRI scans to compare different MRI methods in people who have a thick plaque in the carotid artery (the main artery in the neck). It may help improve how doctors “see” plaque, which could support better risk assessment.
This study looks at how dangerous carotid artery narrowing (blood vessels in the neck that supply the brain) might be, using CT and MRI information. It may help doctors better judge stroke risk for people with mild, moderate, or severe narrowing.
