Figure 4

Reconstructed microCT slices for sample 2. (a) Snapshot of the 3D rendering of sample 2. Colorbar annotations are similar to Figs. 1 and 3. Inset in (a): a photograph of the clot fixed in formalin. (b) MicroCT slice with zoomed ROIs. Blue lines point to the enlarged views of each contour. White arrows indicate observed structural orientations. Yellow arrows point to hyperintense masses (RBCs). (c,d) Orthogonal slices from local nanoCT of the yellow dashed rectangle area in (b). (e) A 3D rendering of individual and clustered RBCs with their typical biconcave shapes from a very small ROI volume (red squares in (c) and (d)). It is a region with relatively high porosity, nonetheless, RBCs are often attached and form clusters. In Avizo (2019.4): https://www.thermofisher.com/amira-avizo.
