Brain stenotic diseases such as moyamoya disease (MMD) are characterized by diminished cerebrovascular reserve. In this work, we proposed a one-stop-shop method for hemodynamic imaging in cerebrovascular diseases, in which venous cerebral blood volume (vCBV) and cerebrovascular reactivity (CVR), as well as a response time (RT) map reflecting kinetic properties are obtained in a single scan of about 9 minutes without need for radiation exposure of administration of exogenous contrast agents. We showed that MMD patients have diminished vasodilatory function while their baseline vCBV was intact. This method may be a practical and valuable method in cerebrovascular diseases.
