ΔS = percent signal intensity changes; rCBV = relative cerebral blood volume; CLS = contralateral side.

1

Vascular reactivity index, number of voxels (in percentages) above the defined VRM threshold.

2

Lesion crosses brain midline, thus contralateral side VOI could not be defined.

3

DSC perfusion was not performed.
