Figure 3.
MRI and histopathological examination 1 day after thrombus induction. The thrombus shows isointensity on (a) axial spin-echo T1 weighted image [repetition time/echo time (TR/TE), 500/8.0], slight hyperintensity on (b) axial fast spin-echo T2 weighted image (TR/TE, 4000/98.0) and hypointensity on (c) axial single shot spin-echo echo-planar diffusion weighted image (TR/TE, 5000/98.7; b value, 400 s mm−2) (arrows). (d) Photomicrograph shows neutrophils migrating into the peripheral portions of thrombus (arrows) (haematoxylin–eosin stain; original magnification,×400). T, thrombus; V, vessel wall.
