a Examples of coronal T2 images over 2 weeks in aged (18 months) rats that had an organized hematoma (organized) or did not (non-organized). Note the relative ventricular size. Ventricular volume was quantified in rats with an organized hematoma (n = 3) or did not (n = 10) from day-1 to -14 after blood injection. Values are expressed as the mean ± SD, #p < 0.01 vs. non-organized aged rats. b Examples of coronal T2* images for 2 weeks in aged rats that had an organized hematoma (organized) or did not (non-organized). Quantification of T2* lesions in the organized hematoma (n = 3) and non-organized hematoma (n = 10) aged rats from day-1 to -14 after blood injection. Values are expressed as the mean ± SD, #p < 0.01 vs. non-organized aged rats
