This research study is examining whether a special type of MRI scan of the brain — called high-resolution MRI — can predict which patients who have had a stroke caused by narrowing in a major brain artery are more likely to have another stroke. Researchers will look at specific features of the plaque buildup in your artery to see if those features can help forecast your risk of a future stroke in the same location.
Strokes caused by fatty plaque buildup in brain arteries are common in Asian populations and carry a significant risk of recurrence. Better tools to identify which patients are at highest risk could help doctors choose more targeted treatments to prevent second strokes.

You will have already undergone the specialized MRI scan of your brain as part of your hospital care for stroke. Researchers will review the detailed features of your plaque from that scan and track whether you experience another stroke over the next 6 months through follow-up appointments. No additional procedures or medications are being given — this study observes your recovery and stroke risk based on imaging characteristics already obtained.
