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).
