Fig. 3From: Effects of diabetes mellitus complicated by admission hyperglycemia on clot histological composition and ultrastructure in patients with acute ischemic strokeClot perviousness measurement. Clot permeability was assessed using CT and CTA. Acquired non-contrast CT (A) and CTA (B) images of a representative patient without DM, and digitally zoomed (C, D) representative images of a patient with ahDM depict an occlusive clot in the M1 segment. Regions of interest of the clot assessed on non-contrast CT (A, C) and CTA (B, D). E δHU was significantly lower in patients with ahDM than in patients without DM. CT, computed tomography; CTA, computed tomography angiography; ahDM, admission hyperglycemia diabetes mellitus; δHU, Absolute thrombus perviousness; M1, first segment of the middle cerebral arteryBack to article page
