In the present study perfusion territories are assessed
by vessel-encoded (VE) pseudo-continuous arterial spin
labeling (p-CASL) in a cohort of 45 patients with
intracranial stenosis. The features of a classification
analysis performed with the framework of searchlight
multi-voxel pattern analysis (MVPA) were investigated.
The hypothesis was tested how accurate the
classification (above chance level of 0.5) can be
performed in these patients. Classification was high in
left-, right and posterior perfusion territories with an
overlap on the stenotic side. These findings suggest
that the present classification method is sensitive to
collateral flow.
