چکیده
The current paper describes visually the system of CBF measurement by continuous ASL using schematic illustration. I also discussed the effects of the parameters used in continuous ASL to CBF values as measured with ASL-MRI.

A technical perspective for understanding quantitative arterial spin-labeling MR imaging using Q2TIPS.
We illustrate the fundamental theoretical principles of arterial spin-labeling (ASL) magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and show a system that employs the second version of quantitative imaging of perfusion using a single subtraction (Q2TIPS) to quantify cerebral blood flow (CBF). We also discuss the effects of the parameters used in Q2TIPS on CBF values as measured with ASL-MRI.
متن کاملA theoretical and experimental comparison of continuous and pulsed arterial spin labeling techniques for quantitative perfusion imaging.
Under ideal conditions, continuous arterial spin labeling (ASL) techniques are higher in SNR than pulsed ASL techniques by a factor of e. Presented here is a direct theoretical and experimental comparison of continuous ASL and pulsed ASL, using versions of both that are amenable to multislice imaging and insensitive to variations in transit times (continuous ASL with a delay before imaging, and...
متن کاملComparison of cerebral blood flow acquired by simultaneous [15O]water positron emission tomography and arterial spin labeling magnetic resonance imaging
Until recently, no direct comparison between [(15)O]water positron emission tomography (PET) and arterial spin labeling (ASL) for measuring cerebral blood flow (CBF) was possible. With the introduction of integrated, hybrid magnetic resonance (MR)-PET scanners, such a comparison becomes feasible. This study presents results of CBF measurements recorded simultaneously with [(15)O]water and ASL. ...
متن کاملRenal Perfusion Imaging using Continuous Arterial Spin Labeling with Separate Labeling and Imaging Coils
Introduction: Assessment of renal perfusion rates can provide important information about kidney function, but also about diseases with pathological perfusion changes, e.g. nephrocalcinosis and renal infarction. To minimize potential risks of nephrotoxicity associated with Gd-based MR perfusion techniques, arterial spin labeling (ASL) is currently being adapted to the kidneys [1-3]. ASL, a meth...
متن کاملApplication of Arterial Spin Labelling in the Assessment of Ocular Tissues
Arterial spin labelling (ASL) is a noninvasive magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) modality, capable of measuring blood perfusion without the use of a contrast agent. While ASL implementation for imaging the brain and monitoring cerebral blood flow has been reviewed in depth, the technique is yet to be widely used for ocular tissue imaging. The human retina is a very thin but highly stratified str...
