a, b vessel diameter maps with definition of the different regions. c Boxplot of vessel area metric showing greater vessel occupancy in isoflurane state. Five regions of interest include the cortex with arteries (red, downward flow) and veins (blue, upward flow). For each ROI, 3D ULM density maps, vessel diameters, and velocities are displayed. Boxplots for each ROI depict the average radius and velocity of branches, comparing awake (purple) and isoflurane (cyan) states. Lhiv (longitudinal hippocampal vein); Dthv (dorsal thalamus vein); Thpv (thalamoperforating vein); Ach (anterior choroidal artery); Dlth (dorsolateral hypothalamus); MCA (middle cerebral artery).
