Hemorrhage (T2*). a Representative T2*-weighted (TE = 16 ms) images showing a color overlay of hemorrhage extent, from animals in the +HEM and I+HEM groups; I-HEM group was non-hemorrhagic. Hemorrhagic sites were segmented using the T2* < 20 ms threshold. Each row shows multiple slices from the same animal. b Significantly low T2* values in the affected LAD territory in the +HEM and I+HEM groups quantified the occurrence of hemorrhage. c Resulting hemorrhage volume was greater when hemorrhage was coupled with an ischemic insult (I+HEM group) as opposed to the hemorrhage only group (+HEM)
