EXTREME SPEED-UP OF ACQUISITION OF PERFUSION TIME SERIES BY CYCLED ARTERIAL SPIN LABELING MRI

摘要

Quantitative assessment of haemodynamics by cycled arterial spin labeling (CACL) that distinguishes between blood magnetization tagged by a specific labeling pulse, using a time series acquisition in which all measured data sets are used for reconstruction of each single time step, thereby reducing measurement time while maintaining signal-to- noise ration compared to conventional ASL.
