• With hyperdense artery sign and occlusion location, 12% of variability in thrombus RBC content can be explained. • With hyperdense artery sign, occlusion location, and quantitative thrombus characteristics on thin-slice (≤ 2.5 mm) non-contrast CT and CTA, 30% of variability in thrombus RBC content can be explained. • Absolute thrombus density and thrombus length were the strongest predictors for thrombus composition.
