In the present study the relationship between cerebral
blood flow (CBF) and CBF velocity was investigated in a
cohort of twenty patients with intracranial stenosis.
After rigorous treatment physiology-related artefacts of
vessel-selective arterial spin labeling (sASL) time
series a significant positive linear relationship
located within the anterior and posterior watershed
areas of the middle cerebral artery (MCA). The findings
of the present study suggest that regional CBF measures
along watershed territories as measured by sASL are
reliable markers of sufficient collateral supply.
