Perfusion-weighted MRI-based maps of cerebral blood flow (CBF(MRI)) are considered a good MRI measure of penumbral flow in acute ischemic stroke but are seldom used in clinical routine due to methodical issues. We validated CBF(MRI) on quantitative CBF measurement by 15O-water positron emission tomography (CBF(PET)).
