Abstract
Methods, systems, computer programs, circuits and workstations are configured to generate at least one two-dimensional color blood flow map that combines X and Y encoded primary and secondary peak data of 1-dimensional Inverse Fourier Transform images to visually indicate (i) anterior/posterior and right/left directional components of respective feeding arteries using defined colors and (ii) brightness to indicate an amount of blood flow associated with each voxel, with increased brightness associated with increased blood flow.
