Arterial spin labeled (ASL) techniques can provide cerebral blood flow (CBF) measures without the use of a contrast agent, and it has been shown to provide largely consistent results with DSC perfusion in delineating hypoperfused brain regions in AIS while also providing information on hyperemic lesion. In this study, we develop a deep learning-based model to identify the hypoperfusion lesion on ASL images based on the DSC perfusion-defined penumbra region and diffusion weighted imaging (DWI). Our results show that deep learning can predict the DSC-defined penumbral region in ASL with dice coefficient=0.43.
