Quantitative Cerebral Blood Flow Changes in Huntington's Disease Measured using Pulsed Arterial Spin Labeling
Introduction Huntington's disease (HD) is a highly debilitating and often fatal neurodegenerative genetic disorder characterized by disrupted motor function as well as cognitive and psychiatric deterioration, typically manifesting by mid-life. Wide-spread cortical thinning and striatal volume reduction have been robustly observed in HD, tentatively linked to mitochondrial oxidative stress [1], ...
متن کاملImaging blood flow in brain tumors using arterial spin labeling.
Measurements of tumor blood flow (TBF) are important for understanding tumor physiology and can be valuable in selecting and evaluating therapies. Brain tumors typically present reduced blood flows compared to normal brain tissue. This study shows that the arterial spin labeling (ASL) technique can be used to measure TBF non-invasively in a rat glioma model. Results show that TBF in the core (3...
متن کاملCerebral blood flow quantification using vessel-encoded arterial spin labeling
Arterial spin labeling (ASL) techniques are gaining popularity for visualizing and quantifying cerebral blood flow (CBF) in a range of patient groups. However, most ASL methods lack vessel-selective information, which is important for the assessment of collateral flow and the arterial supply to lesions. In this study, we explored the use of vessel-encoded pseudocontinuous ASL (VEPCASL) with mul...
متن کاملCerebral Blood Flow and Transit Time Measured by Quantitative Arterial Spin Labeling: Comparison with O-PET
Introduction Arterial spin labeling (ASL) is a unique MR imaging technique that allows for non-invasive measurement of cerebral blood flow (CBF). Recently, ASL with multiple delay time sampling has become available on clinical MR imagers. Quantitative signal targeting by alternating radiofrequency pulses labeling of arterial regions (QUASAR) is one of such techniques, and allows for quantitativ...
متن کاملHippocampal blood flow in normal aging measured with arterial spin labeling at 3T.
Due to methodological difficulties related to the small size, variable distribution of hippocampal arteries, and the location of the hippocampus in the proximity of middle cranial fossa, little is known about hippocampal blood flow (HBF). We have tested the utility of a pulsed arterial spin labeling sequence based on multi-shot true fast imaging in steady precession to measure HBF in 34 normal ...
