Clot scenario descriptions with varying parameters

90RCT	90	X		X
50RCT	50	X		X

0RU	0		X	NA	NA

Fibrin redistribution on the clot periphery: 90% of total fibrin is in the periphery (90R)/50% of total fibrin is in periphery (50R)/clot is a homogeneous mixture of RBCs and fibrin, with 0% of fibrin in the periphery (0R). Volume shrinkage: contracted (C)/uncontracted (U). Fibrin structure: tight, pore size between fibers is 0.22 μm (T)/loose, pore size between fibers is 1.014 μm (L). All contracted clots have tightly packed core regions, and all uncontracted clots have loosely packed core regions. 0RU represents a clot where contraction is impaired; 90RCT corresponds to a fully contracted clot. NA, not available.
