Multi-Phase Pseudo-Continuous Arterial Spin Labeling (MP PCASL): Robust PCASL method for CBF quantification
FIG. 3. CBF maps from (a) PCASL and(b) 4-phase PCASL shows overall increase in CBF estimates with 4-phase PCASL. Phase tracking error map (c) show asymmetry of the errors induced at tagging locations. FIG. 4. Comparisons of gray matter CBF (red bar) and SNR efficiency (blue bar) normalized to the values from FAIR ASL. The error bars show the standard deviations. Multi-Phase Pseudo-Continuous Ar...
متن کاملPrecision and Accuracy of Arterial Spin Labeling Perfusion MRI in the Pediatric Population
Introduction Arterial Spin Labeling (ASL) provides a noninvasive means for measuring quantitative cerebral blood flow (CBF) without the use of exogenous contrast agents, and is particularly appealing for pediatric populations (1). In neurodevelopmental studies, quantitative CBF can serve as an important marker of cognitive development in normal children as well as aberrant changes in brain func...
متن کاملFeasibility of Using Pseudo-Continuous Arterial Spin Labeling Perfusion in a Geriatric Population at 1.5 Tesla.
OBJECTIVES To evaluate the feasibility of using pseudo-continuous arterial spin labeling (pCASL) perfusion in a geriatric population at 1.5-Tesla. MATERIALS AND METHODS In 17 participants (mean age 78.8±1.63 years) we assessed; 1) inter-session repeatability and reliability of resting state perfusion in 27 brain regions; 2) brain activation using finger-tapping as a means to evaluate the abil...
متن کاملMeasurement of brain perfusion in newborns: Pulsed arterial spin labeling (PASL) versus pseudo-continuous arterial spin labeling (pCASL)
BACKGROUND Arterial spin labeling (ASL) perfusion-weighted imaging (PWI) by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) has been shown to be useful for identifying asphyxiated newborns at risk of developing brain injury, whether or not therapeutic hypothermia was administered. However, this technique has been only rarely used in newborns until now, because of the challenges to obtain sufficient signal-to-...
متن کاملASL phMRI After a Single Dose of Oral Citalopram
Introduction Pharmacological MRI (phMRI), the combination of pharmacological challenge and imaging, is a novel and noninvasive method for assessing drug effects on brain function. To date, most phMRI has been based on blood-oxygenation-level-dependent (BOLD) contrast acquired during intravenous drug administration. Because BOLD provides nonquantitative measure that is dependent on both physiolo...
