This study aimed to investigate the feasibility of CUBE MRI for high resolution imaging in the length measurement of intraluminal thrombi for acute stroke patients. The T1 weighted CUBE images displayed the segments proximal and distal to the thrombus with sufficient quality for clinical diagnosis, and showed the length of it as high signal or iso-signal filling in the lumen. As a result, about 88.9% of the thrombus lengths assessed by CUBE T1 were consistent with the reference DSA. We therefore, demonstrated that the T1 weighted CUBE MRI can effectively evaluate the length of intraluminal thrombi.
