    FIG 1.

    Representative case 1. A patient presented with a left M1 segment occlusion. A, FPD CBV imaging includes FPD CBV images and FPD CT angiographic images. B, The axial FPD CT angiographic images could visualize the occlusion site (M1 proximal, white continuous arrow) and its distal vessel (M1 distal, white dashed arrow) by the filling of collaterals. The visualization score is 1. C, MRA could visualize the occlusion site but not its distal vessel (visualization score = 5). D, White arrowheads in the FPD CT angiographic image show the filling of the MCA territory via leptomeningeal anastomosis. The collateral score is 3 for 100% collateral supply of the occluded MCA territory. E, The filling of the MCA territories is not confirmed on the MRA. MIP thickness is set to 10 mm for B and C and 5 mm for D and E.

    FIG 2.

    Representative case 2. A patient presented with tandem occlusions (cICA and M2 segment proximal occlusions). A, The left intracranial ICA is not visualized on MRA, suggesting left cICA occlusion. White arrowheads show slightly depicted M1 segment probably via the anterior communicating artery. Left M2 occlusion could not be identified on MRA. B, FPD CBV imaging before percutaneous transluminal angioplasty followed by conventional angiography at the left common carotid artery identifies left cICA occlusion (black arrowhead). C, The occlusion site (M2 proximal, white continuous arrow) and its distal vessel (M2 distal, white dashed arrows) on the coronal image by the fillings of collaterals. The visualization score is 1. MIP thickness is set to 20 mm.
