چکیده
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.

Measurement 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 کاملCorrecting for off-resonance induced degradation of inversion efficiency in pseudo-continuous ASL
Introduction: Pseudo-continuous arterial spin labeling (pCASL) uses a long train of labeling pulses to provide multi-slice cerebral perfusion measurements while compensating for magnetization transfer effects without using additional hardware [1]. The inversion efficiency of pCASL is known to be sensitive to the amount of phase shift (φ) experienced during the time between two consecutive RF pu...

The purpose of the present study was to present a multi-delay multi-parametric pseudo-continuous arterial spin labeling (pCASL) protocol with background suppressed 3D GRASE (gradient and spin echo) readout for perfusion imaging in acute ischemic stroke. PCASL data at 4 post-labeling delay times (PLD = 1.5, 2, 2.5, 3 s) were acquired within 4.5 min in 24 patients (mean age 79.7 ± 11.4 years; 11 ...
متن کاملB0 field inhomogeneity considerations in pseudo-continuous arterial spin labeling (pCASL): effects on tagging efficiency and correction strategy.
Pseudo-continuous arterial spin labeling (pCASL) is a very powerful technique to measure cerebral perfusion, which circumvents the problems affecting other continuous arterial spin labeling schemes, such as magnetization transfer and duty cycle. However, some variability in the tagging efficiency of the pCASL technique has been reported. This article investigates the effect of B(0) field inhomo...
متن کاملReliability of Three-Dimensional Pseudo-Continuous Arterial Spin Labeling MR Imaging for Measuring Visual Cortex Perfusion on Two 3T Scanners
Cerebral blood flow (CBF) in the human primary visual cortex is correlated with the loss of visual function in neuro-ophthalmological diseases. Advanced three-dimensional pseudo-continuous arterial spin labeling (3D pCASL), as a non-invasive method to access the CBF, can be a novel measurement to detect the visual cortex. The objective of the study was to assess the intra- and inter-scanner rel...
