Abstract
The aim is to outline how experimental intracerebral hematoma and perihematomal edema can be imaged. For postmortem investigation of the clot, morphometric analysis, spectrophotometry, and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) are used. The edema in sacrificed animals is determined by the brain water content. In living animals, MRI is the imaging modality of choice for visualization of hematoma and edema.
