## Abstract A new technique for the imaging of flow territories of individual extra‐ and intracranial arteries is presented. The method is based on balanced pseudocontinuous arterial spin labeling but employs additional time‐varying gradients in between the radiofrequency pulses of the long labelin

## Abstract A new signal‐to‐noise ratio (SNR) efficient method is introduced for the mapping of vascular territories based on pseudocontinuous arterial spin labeling (ASL). A pseudocontinuous tagging pulse train is modified using additional transverse gradient pulses and phase cycling to place some
Velocity-driven adiabatic inversion is an attractive method for labeling arterial blood spins for quantitative perfusion imaging. To quantify perfusion and to optimize experimental parameters, an accurate estimate of labeling efficiency is required. We present theoretical and numerical methods to ca
## Abstract ## Purpose To obtain cerebral perfusion territories of the left, the right, and the posterior circulation in humans with high signal‐to‐noise ratio (SNR) and robust delineation. ## Materials and Methods Continuous arterial spin labeling (CASL) was implemented using a dedicated radio
## Abstract Imaging the contribution of different arterial vessels to the blood supply of the brain can potentially guide the treatment of vascular disease and other disorders. Previously available only with catheter angiography, vessel‐selective labeling of arteries has now been demonstrated with
## Abstract An improved arterial spin labeling (ASL) perfusion technique that combines pseudo‐continuous labeling and a __T__~2~\*‐insensitive sequence (GRASE) with background suppression was used to acquire perfusion maps in normal volunteers and stroke patients. It is shown that perfusion measure
