Temporal-shift analysis of blood oxygen level-dependent MR imaging can identify brain regions with hemodynamic compromise in relation to DSC among patients with chronic cerebrovascular disease. The use of acetazolamide reduces the accuracy of temporal-shift analysis and network connectivity evaluation.
