Standardized artery territorial distributions (ATD) are derived from variable post-mortem ATD yet assume a homogenous distribution. We developed a downloadable probabilistic territorial distribution of the left-MCA derived from Time-of-Flight Magnetic-Resonance-Angiography that can be used with other MRI modalities. We examined the probability of the arterial territory in Broca’s and Wernicke’s area and found it to be almost 3 times higher in Broca area than Wernicke’s area; however, both are traditionally believed to be supplied by the left-MCA. Combining the variability of arterial territories with functionally defined regions of interest can advance our knowledge of the consequences of cerebrovascular incidents.
