Research project using PET/MRI imaging to detect early atherosclerosis in cocaine addiction and study its impact on brain function for preventive health strategies.
Description
This project leverages advanced imaging techniques, including PET with 18F-FDG and MRI, to detect early signs of atherosclerosis in asymptomatic drug-addicted individuals. The study aims to correlate carotid artery disease markers with brain network connectivity and cognitive function, addressing the public health need for early detection and intervention to prevent severe outcomes.
