In this study, the main purpose was to explore the clinical value of territory arterial spin labeling (T-ASL) in assessing perfusion changes after unilateral middle cerebral artery (MCA)recanalization. We included 15 patients diagnosed by Digital Substraction Angiography(DSA) with unilateral MCA stenosis, T-ASL examination was performed before and after surgery. Patients showed significantly different reperfusion areas between pre- and post-operations, and some had hyperperfusion displacement in the major cerebral arterial blood supply area. Therefore, T-ASL technique can be used as a valuable method to evaluate the effect of vascular recanalization accurately.
