Schematic representation of the measurements: (a) maximum diameter cross-section. (b) Volume measurements. The lumen area and thrombus are defined as the maximum diameter (Dmax) cross-section. The vessel area is defined as the area surrounded by the red line, including the lumen and thrombus in the maximum diameter cross-section. The vessel volume is centered at the cross-section containing the Dmax and was limited by the cranial and caudal cross sections by 20 mm. The lumen and thrombus volumes were the volumes of the lumen and thrombus within the vessel, respectively
