Summary

This clinical trial aims to evaluate whether \[¹⁸F\]AlF-OC PET/MRI can characterize and quantify inflammation in carotid atherosclerotic plaques. The study will assess if tracer uptake in culprit and non-culprit carotid arteries, measured by standardized uptake values (SUV), is associated with future cerebrovascular events. Specifically, it will examine whether \[¹⁸F\]AlF-OC uptake predicts the risk of recurrent ipsilateral TIA, amaurosis fugax, stroke, or other vascular complications.

Participants will undergo \[¹⁸F\]AlF-OC PET/MRI and will be followed via telephone interviews at 90 days, 1 year, and 3 years after their initial stroke or TIA.

Conditions

  • Stroke (CVA) or TIA
  • Carotid Artery Plaque
  • Atherosclerosis Cardiovascular Disease
  • Carotid Arteriosclerosis

Interventions

DRUG

[18F]AlF-OC

Participants received a single intravenous (IV) bolus injection of 4 MBq/kg \[¹⁸F\]AlF-OC (Al¹⁸F-1,4,7-triazacyclononane-1,4,7-triacetate-octreotide), followed by a flush with 0.9% NaCl.
