Distinguishing between anterior cerebral artery and middle cerebral artery perfusion by color-coded perfusion direction mapping with arterial spin labeling.

چکیده
The purpose of this study was to evaluate collateral circulation by describing anterior cerebral artery and middle cerebral artery perfusion areas. Pairs of image sets spin labeled on the medial and lateral side were used. A pixel-by-pixel t test was performed, with blue gradation used to display lateral perfusion (ie, middle cerebral artery) and orange gradation for anterior cerebral artery perfusion. Extensions of anterior cerebral artery perfusion areas in cases of middle cerebral artery stenosis were described. This method may aid in estimation of collateral circulation for stroke treatment.

Flow territory mapping of the cerebral arteries with regional perfusion MRI.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Conventional contrast-enhanced angiography is the gold standard for visualization of the vascular tree supplied by the major cerebral arteries and assessment of collateral flow. Thus far, however, no methods are available to assess the actual flow territories of the individual cerebral arteries. In the present study, we evaluate a noninvasive arterial spin labeling MRI me...
متن کاملRegional perfusion imaging using pTILT.
PURPOSE To demonstrate the feasibility that the pseudo-continuous transfer insensitive labeling technique (pTILT) sequence can be modified to achieve regional perfusion imaging by either vessel-encoded or vessel-selective pTILT, similar to the regional perfusion imaging sequences using pseudo-continuous arterial spin labeling (pCASL). MATERIALS AND METHODS Static phantom experiments were carr...
متن کاملCollateral circulation imaging: MR perfusion territory arterial spin-labeling at 3T.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Current knowledge of the collateral circulation remains sparse, and a noninvasive method to better characterize the role of collaterals is desirable. The aim of our study was to investigate the presence and distal flow of collaterals by using a new MR perfusion territory imaging, vessel-encoded arterial spin-labeling (VE-ASL). MATERIALS AND METHODS Fifty-six patients wi...

The purpose of the present study was to present a multi-delay multi-parametric pseudo-continuous arterial spin labeling (pCASL) protocol with background suppressed 3D GRASE (gradient and spin echo) readout for perfusion imaging in acute ischemic stroke. PCASL data at 4 post-labeling delay times (PLD = 1.5, 2, 2.5, 3 s) were acquired within 4.5 min in 24 patients (mean age 79.7 ± 11.4 years; 11 ...
متن کاملCombined assessment of vascular territories and haemodynamic parameter maps
Introduction: Defining watershed (WS) areas – the border zone regions supplied by the most distal branches of the cerebral arteries – is critical as these regions are most susceptible to haemodynamic ischaemia, and may even play a role in thrombo-embolic stroke due to reduced wash-out of capacity. Territorial arterial spin labelling (TASL) has been shown to provide a method of selectively label...
