Verbena is a Bayesian Inference tool for quantification of perfusion and other haemodynamic
parameters from Dynamic Susceptibility Contrast perfusion MRI of the brain.


VERBENA complements
the `OXASL <https://oxasl.readthedocs.io/>`_ pipeline for the quantification of
perfusion using Arterial Spin Labelling MRI and is
built on the same core inference algorithm (FABBER). VERBENA uses a specific physiological
built on the same core inference algorithm (`FABBER <https://fabber_core.readthedocs.io>`_).

VERBENA uses a specific physiological
model for capillary transit of contrast within the blood generally termed the 'vascular model'
that was first described by Ostergaard (see below). In VERBENA the model has been extended to
explicitly infer the mean transit time and also to optionally include correction for macro
vascular contamination - contrast agent within arterial vessels - more information on the
model can be found in the `theory <theory.html>`_ section.
model can be found in the `theory section of the FABBER_DSC documentation <https://fabber-dsc.readthedocs.io/en/latest/theory.html>`_.

VERBENA takes a model-based approach to the analysis of DSC-MRI data in contrast to alternative
'non-parametric' approaches, that often use a Singular Value based Deconvolution to quantify
