Clinical Trial: CT Evaluation of Carotid Plaque Components
Study Status: Completed
Recruit Status: RECRUITING
Condition: Carotid Plaque
Study Type: OBSERVATIONAL
Official Title: Validation of Photon Counting/Spectral Computed Tomography Angiography of Carotid Plaque Composition in Patients With Ischemic Stroke
Brief Summary:
The goal of this observational study is to validate the diagnostic performance of photon counting/spectral CT to distinguish tissue components in ischemic stroke with MRI/semi-automated segmentation software and histology as the reference standard.The main question[s] it aims to answer are:Presence or absence of calcium, hemorrhage, and lipid plaque components as determined on CT will be confirmed with carotid MRI, segmentation quantitative (e.g., volume) output from segmentation software, or histologic…
