Figure 7

Comparison between regions where AAA is relatively stronger or weaker. (a–c) DOMAG results for (a) basal, (b) during-MCAO, and (c) after-reperfusion conditions, respectively. Strong AAA area is marked with a yellow dashed box and weak AAA area with a blue dashed box. (d–f) OMAG comparison between strong and weak AAA ROIs for (d) basal, (e) during-MCAO, and (f) after-reperfusion conditions, respectively. (g–i) Red, green, and yellow dots correspond to MCA, ACA, and AAA T-junction sourced arterioles, respectively. Blue dots correspond to the diving arterioles that are at nondetectable level compared to basal condition. Cartoon representations of the lumen diameters of pial and penetrating arterioles for (g) basal, (h) during-MCAO, and (i) after-reperfusion conditions, respectively. Scale bar is 0.3 mm (reprinted with permission from [77]).
