(a) Illustration of the basic measurement setup, showing clots stored in tubes filled with formalin after they were extracted from the patient by mechanical thrombectomy and immediately fixated with formalin. (b) For the measurement, two of these tubes can be inserted and measured by the dual-layer CT using a specimen holder. The specimen holder itself was placed on a cardboard tray to prevent the holder from moving during the measurement and to create a slightly inclined plane so that the clots remain at the bottom of the tubes.
