Arterial spin labeling (ASL), a noncontrast method of measuring CBF has become feasible in the clinical setting. Serpiginous high intensity structures (ASL) are seen in the ischemic tissue on ASL, prior studies suggested that ATA may represent collateral flow. On the other hand, FVHs are related to hemodynamic impairment and represent slow retrograde flow in leptomeningeal collaterals. Our aim was to compare the consistency of the occurrence of ATA relative to that of FVH in patients with proximal MCA occlusion.
