Abstract
A medical imaging system () includes a memory () for storing machine executable instructions (), and a processor () for controlling the medical imaging system. Execution of the machine executable instructions causes the processor to: receive () a tagged arterial spin labeled (ASL) magnitude image () of a region of interest of a subject (); receive () a control ASL magnitude image () of the region of interest of the subject; construct () an arterial image () by subtracting the control ASL magnitude image and the tagged ASL magnitude image; construct () an arterial mask () using the arterial image by identifying arteries in the arterial image; receive () a phase contrast magnetic resonance image () of at least a portion of the region of interest of the subject; and construct a venous image () at least partially by setting voxels of the phase contrast image within the at least a portion of the region of interest that are within the arterial mask to a predetermined background value.
