Accurate, localized quantification of white matter perfusion with single-voxel ASL.
Quantification of perfusion in white matter is still difficult due to its low level, causing an often insufficiently low signal-to-noise ratio, and its long and inhomogeneous transit delays. Here, a technique is presented that accurately measures white matter perfusion by combining a spectroscopic single-voxel localization technique (point-resolved spectroscopy) with a pulsed arterial spin labe...
متن کاملVoxel based perfusion variability in ASL
Introduction For the use of arterial spin labeling (ASL) in clinical routine, knowledge on variability of ASL measurements is of great importance. Thus far, ASL variability studies have mainly focussed on intrasession and intracenter and multicenter variability of global perfusion and of perfusion in the flow territories of major brain feeding arteries [1,2]. As a part of the Dutch multicenter ...
متن کاملASL Quantification : QUIPSS , single TI and multi
Details of the acquisition protocol can cause unwanted signal in the difference image that is unrelated to perfusion, for example magnetization transfer differences between label and control images. Patient motion can also contribute. Likewise, some true perfusion signal can be missed, for example the passage of non-labeled blood due to the restricted spatial extent of labeling. For the purpose...
متن کاملMyocardial perfusion SPECT: Perfusion quantification
Different software tools for quantification of myocardial perfusion SPECT (MPS) studies are routinely used. Several perfusion parameters can be computed automatically. Interpretation of the MPS should start with visual inspection of the rotating planar images, visual analysis of reconstructed SPECT slices and then quantitative analysis to confirm the visual impression. Quantification should be...
متن کاملABCD1 dysfunction alters white matter microvascular perfusion
Cerebral X-linked adrenoleukodystrophy is a devastating neurodegenerative disorder caused by mutations in the ABCD1 gene, which lead to a rapidly progressive cerebral inflammatory demyelination in up to 60% of affected males. Selective brain endothelial dysfunction and increased permeability of the blood-brain barrier suggest that white matter microvascular dysfunction contributes to the conver...
