Comparison of histological analysis and experimental analysis of multimaterial decomposition with DE-CT determining clot composition. For this evaluation, 58 of the 70 clots were included, as 12 thrombi were already used for the optimization of the algorithm. For each clot component, F/P (a), RBC (b), and WBC (c), percentages of histological results are shown in the horizontal axis, and quantitative fractions of DE-CT imaging analysis are presented in the vertical axis. The trendline, equation, and correlation coefficient r are presented for each plot. DE-CT, Dual-energy computed tomography; F/P, Fibrin/platelets; RBC, red blood cells; WBC, White blood cells
