Selective Arterial Spin Labeling (ASL) is established to perform non-contrast enhanced flow territory mapping. In super-selective pCASL only one artery of interest is labeled while the efficiency in contralateral arteries is near zero. To obtain a holistic picture of all brain perfusion territories, the label and control experiments have to be repeated for each artery, prolonging scan time. In this study, it is hypothesized that due to the (almost) negligible signal contribution of non-tagged arteries, selective perfusion images can be calculated from a single scan that is performed without the acquisition of control images.
