MRI Quantitative T2* Mapping to Predict Dominant Composition of In Vitro Thrombus [ADULT BRAIN]

CONCLUSIONS: MR imaging quantitative T2* mapping can reliably identify the thrombus red blood cell content in vitro. This fast, easy-to-use sequence could be implemented in routine practice to predict stroke etiology and adapt devices or techniques for endovascular treatment of acute ischemic stroke.
