In recent years, several methods have been introduced for mapping of arterial perfusion territories using arterial spin labeling. In this work, we adapt these remote sensing principles for mapping of vascular territories on the venous side, using spatial encoding of tissue water, and phase contrast based acquisition of signal from draining veins. Possible applications include venous thrombosis, multiple sclerosis, and mapping of oxygenation extraction.
