Box plot (red line indicating mean), 10 patients (10 male, age 62.4 ± 9.9) with confirmated diagnosis of intra luminal thrombus (n = 10, one patient with two thrombu in the proximal RCX and LAD). Contrast-to-noise ratio (CNR) of thrombus as compared to the vessel lumen of non-affected segments was 9-fold increased (64.1 ± 12.4 vs. 7.0 ± 5.8, p < 0.01) and 2-fold increased as compared to segments with thrombus (26.2 ± 7.2, p < 0.01).
