Access to valid vascular territory atlases is important
to advance our knowledge regarding the pathophysiology
of cerebrovascular diseases and the effects of
interventions and treatments. To date, however, only
crude cerebral vascular territory atlases exist based on
digitization of colorized figures. Moreover, anatomical
variations of the cerebral arteries and knowledge of
this variation is essential to avoid misdiagnosis and to
plan tailored treatment. Probabilistic vascular
territory atlases are well suited to take this vascular
variation into account and we demonstrate
experiment-based vascular territory atlases of major
arteries using arterial spin labeling based vascular
territory mapping.
