Depicting the primary flow territories of the brain is
of clinical importance because collateral circulation is
a common finding in patients with steno-occlusive
disease. In this study, we proposed to generate
statistical mapping of the flow territories of the
left/right internal carotid arteries and vertebral
arteries by using multi-phase vessel-encoded
pseudocontinuous arterial spin labeling and the general
linear model. The described method allows comparison
between flow territories and/or subject populations to
be carried out in a statistical framework similar to
that in functional MR imaging.
