Mean fibrinogen staining of the balloon-injured LAD segment versus the mean relative SI on the corresponding T2-STIR images. For each of the seven pigs, all histologic sections stained for fibrinogen were averaged to generate a mean per- pig value for percentage fibrinogen staining. Likewise, the corresponding T2- STIR images were combined to generate a mean relative SI for the balloon-injured LAD segment. There was a non significant correlation between mean fibrinogen staining and mean relative SI (ρ = 0.750, p = 0.05).
