In this paper we applied a temporal-shift analysis of the BOLD signal to delineate regions with abnormal perfusion in patients with chronic steno-occlusive disease of the cerebrovascular system. We proposed an improved method of analysis based on an iterative approach for the temporal shift analysis. We further explored the effects of acetazolamide, a vasodilator, on the assessment of hemodynamic compromise using temporal-shift analysis and functional connectivity.
