Synopsis
Vessel-selective imaging is promising to examine collateral blood supply in asymptomatic internal carotid artery stenosis (ICAS). Established modalities like digital subtraction angiography are invasive, not quantitative and associated with potential complication risks. A viable non-invasive alternative is super-selective arterial spin labelling, providing perfusion territories of individual arteries. We present data from seven asymptomatic ICAS patients and four age-matched healthy controls. We compared individual perfusion territory maps to an atlas of vascular territories and evaluated intra-hemispheric differences, allowing for quantitative assessment of stenotic mal-perfusion as well as compensatory collateral blood supply from the contralateral ICA.
