Vessel selective dynamic ASL (VS-DASL) was proposed to do a fast cerebral flow territory mapping. The results were in good agreement with traditional vessel selective ASL. The percentage of correctly classified voxels in the flow territory map proved that VS-DASL has potential to map the flow territories in a short scan time (~30-60s), enabling the use in patients with acute stroke.
