Assessing the status of collateral circulation is important in acute ischemic stroke. However, digital subtraction angiography (DSA) which is considered as the gold standard for evaluation of collaterals is invasive and has a risk of thrombotic complications. In this study, we developed a novel MRI technique for evaluation of collateral flow which can be generated using dynamic susceptibility contrast-enhanced perfusion-weighted imaging (DSC-PWI) source data. This technique may provide insight on collateral perfusion in patients who are not otherwise candidates for conventional angiography and may potentially replace it in the future.
