|---|---|---|---|
| Recanalized Segment Morphology | N (%) | Recanalized Segment Morphology | N (%) |
| No flow signal | 8 (25.8%) | Peripheral enhancement with central filling defect (PE) | 15 (71.4%) |
| Peripheral continuous channels (PC) | 12 (38.7%) | Irregular central and peripheral filling defects with heterogeneous enhancement (HE) | 4 (19.1%) |
| Central and peripheral continuous channels (CPC) | 6 (19.4%) | Central enhancing channel (CE) | 2 (9.5%) |
| Irregular discontinuous channels (DC) | 3 (9.7%) | ||
| Central continuous channel (CC) | 2 (6.4%) | ||
Note:—31 thrombosed segments were assessed by TOF-MRV, and 21 thrombosed segments were assessed by CE-MRV. All heterogeneously enhancing segments on CE-MRV exhibited corresponding central and peripheral channels on TOF-MRV. Thirteen of 15 thrombosed segments exhibiting peripheral enhancement with central filling defects on CE-MRV (PE) exhibited either no visible flow signal or corresponding peripheral channels on TOF-MRV.
