1 Test - Retest Reproducibility of perfusion measurements using PASL at 3 T
Introduction: Pulsed arterial spin labeling (PASL) perfusion imaging of cerebral blood flow (CBF) has already proven to be an useful instrument in studying brain pathologies [1,2]. However, validated quantitative imaging methods are not yet provided by the manufacturers. Therefore, the aim of the current study was to investigate the reproducibility of a PASL imaging sequence based on the previo...
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 کاملQuantitative Mapping of the Age-Dependence of Cerebral Blood Flow using Pulsed Arterial Spin Labeling
Introduction The relationship between aging and cerebral blood flow (CBF) in healthy adults remains a topic of debate [1-3]. Various quantitative perfusion-weighted imaging (PWI) techniques have been employed, including positron-emission tomography (PET) [1] and dynamic susceptibility contrast (DSC) MRI [2]. However, PET and DSC seem to disagree on whether CBF changes at all with age, an issue ...
متن کاملPartial volume correction incorporating Rb-82 positron range for quantitative myocardial perfusion PET based on systolic-diastolic activity ratios and phantom measurements
BACKGROUND Quantitative myocardial PET perfusion imaging requires partial volume corrections. METHODS Patients underwent ECG-gated, rest-dipyridamole, myocardial perfusion PET using Rb-82 decay corrected in Bq/cc for diastolic, systolic, and combined whole cycle ungated images. Diastolic partial volume correction relative to systole was determined from the systolic/diastolic activity ratio, s...
متن کاملEffect of scatter coincidences, partial volume, positron range and non-colinearity on the quantification of FDOPA Patlak analysis
Introduction: The key characteristics of positron emission tomography (PET) are its quantitative capability and its sensitivity, which allow the in vivo imaging of biochemical interactions with small amounts of tracer concentrations. Therefore, accurate quantification is important. However, it can be sensitive to several physical factors. The aim of this investigation is the assessment of the e...
