Brain imaging study for stroke patients with narrowed arteries
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have had a stroke or mini-stroke in the past year, and the most recent one was more than 3 weeks ago.
- You have severe narrowing (over 70%) in one of the main arteries on one side of the brain, and the other side is mostly clear.
- Your MRI shows no new brain damage from a recent stroke.
- You have reduced blood flow or metabolism in the affected part of the brain, as seen on a special scan.
- You are able to complete the required scans and follow-up visits, and you can sign a consent form.

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 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 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.
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 follows people after a stroke to better understand how the brain’s artery narrowing changes over time. It uses special 3D scans to see how blood flow and artery structure evolve, which may help future stroke prevention and treatment.
This study uses a special MRI technique to take detailed pictures of the walls of narrowed arteries in the brain or neck. It aims to better understand the plaques that cause the narrowing, which may help guide treatment. If you have moderate to severe narrowing in these arteries, this imaging could provide important information for your care.
