AB  - BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: MR imaging quantitative T2* mapping, which provides information about thrombus composition and specifically the red blood cell content, may be obtained in the setting of acute ischemic stroke before treatment. This could be useful to adapt the endovascular strategy. We aimed to analyze the red blood cell content of in vitro thrombi in relation to the thrombus-T2* relaxation time.MATERIALS AND METHODS: Thirty-five thrombus analogs of different compositions were scanned with an MR imaging quantitative T2* mapping sequence. Two radiologists, blinded to thrombus composition, measured the thrombus-T2* relaxation time twice at an interval of 2 weeks. Quantitative histologic evaluations of red blood cell content were performed. Inter- and intraobserver reproducibility of the thrombus-T2* relaxation time was assessed by calculating intraclass correlation coefficients. Finally, a Spearman product moment correlation between the thrombus-T2* relaxation time and red blood cell content was performed.RESULTS: The median thrombus-T2* relaxation time was 78.5 ms (range, 16–268 ms; interquartile range, 60.5 ms). The median red blood cell content was 55% (range, 0%–100%; interquartile range, 75%). Inter- and intraobserver reproducibility of the thrombus-T2* relaxation time was excellent (&amp;gt;0.9). The Spearman rank correlation test found a significant inverse correlation between thrombus-T2* relaxation time and red blood cell content (ρ = −0.834, P &amp;lt; .001).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.RBCred blood cellSVSsusceptibility vessel signTT2*RTthrombus-T2* relaxation time
