If you use VERBENA in your research, please make sure that you reference the
first article listed below.

Chappell, M.A., Mehndiratta, A., Calamante F., "Correcting for large vessel
contamination in DSC perfusion MRI by extension to a physiological model of the
vasculature", e-print ahead of publication. doi: 10.1002/mrm.25390

The following articles provide more background on the original vascular model
from which the VERBENA model is derived:

Mouridsen K, Friston K, Hjort N, Gyldensted L, Østergaard L, Kiebel S. Bayesian
estimation of cerebral perfusion using a physiological model of microvasculature.
NeuroImage 2006;33:570–579. doi: 10.1016/j.neuroimage.2006.06.015.

Blood Flow and Flow Heterogeneity From Magnetic Resonance Residue Data. J Cereb
Blood Flow Metab 1999;19:690–699.

An alternative Bayesian 'non-parametric' deconvolution approach has been
published in:

interpolation method for the non-parametric quantification of cerebral
haemodynamics from dynamic susceptibility contrast MRI. NeuroImage
