Abstract
In acute ischemic stroke, the composition of the occlusive clot can be associated with the underlying pathophysiology and the response to treatment. For these reasons, it is important to characterize the clot composition from clinical scans. We examine the ability of 3T and 7T MRI to distinguish the composition of in vitro clots, using quantitative T1 and T2*, alternatively R2*, mapping. When comparing the two field strengths, we found a tradeoff between sensitivity for clot composition and confidence in the clot depiction associated with spatial resolution. The loss of sensitivity at 7T can be mitigated by combining the T1 and T2* signals.
期刊介绍：
The Journal of Neuroradiology is a peer-reviewed journal, publishing worldwide clinical and basic research in the field of diagnostic and Interventional neuroradiology, translational and molecular neuroimaging, and artificial intelligence in neuroradiology.
The Journal of Neuroradiology considers for publication articles, reviews, technical notes and letters to the editors (correspondence section), provided that the methodology and scientific content are of high quality, and that the results will have substantial clinical impact and/or physiological importance.
