Abstract
A key element of stroke imaging is to determine the affected vascular territory. This will allow the correlation with clinical symptomology and help identify the occluded vessels on vascular imaging. This chapter will briefly review the cerebral arterial anatomy, vascular territories, and associated major stroke syndromes.
