contents In ischemic stroke, leptomeningeal collaterals can provide compensatory blood flow to tissue at risk despite an occlusion, and impact treatment response and infarct growth. The purpose of this work is to test the hypothesis that local perfusion with an appropriate Local Arterial Input Function (AIF) is needed to quantify the degree of collateral blood supply in tissue distal to an occlusion. Seven experiments were conducted in a pre-clinical middle cerebral artery occlusion model. Magnetic resonance dynamic susceptibility contrast (DSC) was imaged and post-processed as cerebral blood flow maps with both a traditionally chosen single arterial input function (AIF) applied globally to the whole brain (i.e. "Global-AIF") and a novel automatic delay and dispersion corrected AIF (i.e. "Local AIF") that is sensitive to retrograde flow. Pial collateral recruitment was assessed from x-ray angiograms and infarct growth via serially acquired diffusion weighted MRI scans both blinded to DSC. The degree of collateralization at x-ray correlated strongly with quantitative perfusion determined using the Local AIF in the ischemic penumbra (R2=0.81) compared to a traditionally chosen Global-AIF (R2=0.05). Quantitative perfusion calculated using a Local-AIF was negatively correlated (less infarct progression as local perfusion increased) with infarct growth (R2 = 0.79) compared to Global-AIF (R2=0.02). Local DSC perfusion with a Local-AIF is more accurate for assessing tissue status and degree of leptomeningeal collateralization than traditionally chosen AIFs. These findings support use of a Local-AIF in determining quantitative tissue perfusion with collateral supply in occlusive disease.
