Cerebral blood flow (CBF) is partially determined by
brain structure. Current methods for analyzing CBF
imaging techniques, such as arterial spin labeling, only
take into account limited anatomical information. We
propose a method that uses a dictionary learning
approach to provide a more rigorous decomposition of CBF
images into a component that can be predicted by
structural information and a "purely functional"
component that cannot be predicted using brain
structure. This technique has shown to predict a greater
proportion of CBF than segmentation maps, and can be
used for assessing the relative contributions of CBF and
structural imaging.
