Random vessel-encoded arterial spin labeling was proposed to simultaneously measure perfusion territories and detect feeding arteries without prior knowledge of their positions. However, the source location of a territory is often blurred so that it is difficult to be manually identified. In addition, mixed supply in one territory may lead to incorrect vessel detection and decoding of perfusion territories. In the present study, we propose a new data processing pathway for R-VEASL based on region growing and matching pursuit for automatic detection of vascular territories and source vessel locations. This RG-MP method also can resolve mixed supplies.
