In this 7-T micro-MRI study, we used R2* relaxometry of clot analogs to evaluate the relationship between texture parameters of R2* maps and clot constituents. METHODS: Twelve AIS clot analogs were experimentally generated to obtain a wide range of red blood cell concentrations. All clots underwent a MR acquisition using a 7-T micro-MR system. A 3D multi-echo gradient-echo sequence was performed and R2* maps were generated. First order and second order statistics of R2* histograms within the clots were calculated. Iron concentration in clots was measured using absorption spectrometry and red blood cell count (RBC) was obtained by histopathological analysis. RESULTS: RBC count was strongly correlated with iron concentration within clots (r=0.87, P<.001). Higher RBC count and iron concentration were significantly correlated with first order parameters including: (a) global positive shift of the R2* histogram with higher '10th percentile', 'median', 'mean' and '90th percentile'; (b) increase of the global magnitude of voxel values with higher 'total energy' and 'root mean squared'; (c) greater uniformity of the voxel values with higher 'uniformity' and lower 'entropy'. Second order statistical parameters confirmed that higher RBC count and iron concentration correlated with (a) greater concentration of high gray-level values in the image; (b) more "coarse" texture of R2* maps. CONCLUSIONS: Texture analysis of MRI-R2* maps can accurately estimate the red blood cell count and iron content of AIS clot analogs.Show less >
