The purpose of this work is to develop and clinically implement a noninvasive MRI protocol for quantifying the relationship between key hemodynamic compensation mechanisms including cerebrovascular reactivity (CVR), baseline cerebral blood flow (CBF), CBF reactivity, and CBF territory dynamics in patients with cerebrovascular disease. This approach was implemented in 50 patients and results illuminated impairment not clear from structural imaging.
