## Abstract A new signalโtoโnoise 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

## Abstract Arterial spin labeling (ASL) is capable of noninvasively measuring blood flow by magnetically tagging the protons in arterial blood, which has been conventionally achieved using instantaneous (PASL) or continuous (CASL) RF pulses. As an intermediate method, pseudocontinuous ASL (pCASL)
## Abstract A new technique for the imaging of flow territories of individual extraโ and intracranial arteries is presented. The method is based on balanced pseudocontinuous arterial spin labeling but employs additional timeโvarying gradients in between the radiofrequency pulses of the long labelin
