Molecular Imaging of Inflammation With 18F-PBR06 to Identify Unstable Carotid Plaques in Patients With Stroke

Summary

Evaluating an innovative molecular imaging technique to visualize inflammation of the atherosclerotic plaque in patients with a recent ischemic stroke (\<15 days) with carotid stenosis\> 50%, by performing a Positron emission tomography-computed tomography (PET-CT) with PBR06 18F, a tracer for Translocator protein (TPSO).
