In vivo evaluation of the stage of organization of
venous thrombosis could help guide medical treatment and
intervention. We have previously demonstrated that
magnetization transfer ratio (MTR), T1 mapping and
apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) sequences detect
the concentration and spatial distribution of collagen
and methemoglobin, and proton diffusivity of the
thrombus, respectively. In this work we studied if these
MR parameters could improve the identification of
thrombus suitable for thrombolytic treatment.
