  • * Group A = patients 1–8; group B = patients 9–16.

  • Findings observed in conventional angiography and MR angiography.

  • Collateral arteries are listed for patients with major arterial occlusion.

  • § Interval between neurologic onset and PET study.

  • Severe stenosis in middle cerebral artery with mild stenosis in internal carotid artery.

  • A com = anterior communicating artery; P com = posterior communicating artery; Oph = ophthalmic artery; ECA = external carotid artery.
