Table 2.
The necrosis volumes for ten rats calculated on the MR images and from the histological analysis.
| Rat | Necrosis volume on MRI at 48 h (cm3) |
Histological necrosis volume (cm3) |
|---|---|---|
| Rat # 1 | 0.953 | 0.945 |
| Rat # 2 | 0.970 | 0.950 |
| Rat # 3 | 0.987 | 0.923 |
| Rat # 4 | 0.946 | 0.990 |
| Rat # 5 | 0.933 | 0.923 |
| Rat # 6 | 0.967 | 0.941 |
| Rat # 7 | 0.978 | 0.992 |
| Rat # 8 | 0.989 | 0.988 |
| Rat # 9 | 0.958 | 0.967 |
| Rat # 10 | 1.121 | 1.125 |
| Mean volume (cm3) | 0.98 ± 0.052 | 0.973 ± 0.059 |
The Pearson correlation index was r = 0.87 between the pathology volumes and the MRI volumes.
