Fig 3

Pial space and vascular territories.

Top: Generation of the pial space (in blue, with transparency) by extrusion of the pial surface (in gray), and details of the pial space in different locations. Bottom: Definition of the ACA (red), MCA (green), and PCA (blue) vascular territories, by Boolean operations with the reference territorial solids , and . These vascular spaces are denoted by , and , respectively. The corresponding pial surfaces are denoted by , , and .
