Abstract
SUMMARY: We applied regional perfusion imaging (RPI), a new arterial spin-labeling MR imaging method that selectively studies regions of the brain perfused by individual carotid and basilar arteries. In a patient with cerebrovascular disease, RPI showed cerebral tissue perfused by pial collateral vessels, thereby demonstrating the relationship between anatomic and functional information, which was lacking in conventional x-ray angiography. RPI may be useful to study functional collateral circulation and hence guide therapy in ischemic disease.Entities:
