Arterial Spin Labeling (ASL) is a method to measure perfusion using magnetically labeled
blood water as an endogenous tracer. Being fully non-invasive, this technique is attractive …

Purpose: To investigate age‐related regional perfusion changes focused on the medial
temporal lobes and related parietal areas using a pulsed arterial spin labeling technique …

Purpose Partial volume (PV) effects are caused by limited spatial resolution and significantly
affect cerebral blood flow investigations with arterial spin labeling. Therefore, accurate PV …

PURPOSE: To compare absolute cerebral blood flow (CBF) estimates obtained by model-
free arterial spin labeling (ASL) and dynamic susceptibility contrast MRI (DSC-MRI) …

The measurement of cerebral blood flow (CBF) in functional MRI studies that aim for non-
invasive, quantitative and reliable measurements is a challenge. Here, we tested the …

Purpose To propose and assess an improved method for calculating the equilibrium
magnetization of arterial blood (), used for calibration of perfusion estimates in arterial spin …

ABSTRACT BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Quantitative signal targeting with alternating
radiofrequency labeling of arterial regions (QUASAR) is a recent spin labeling technique …

Purpose To estimate the relaxation time changes during Q2TIPS bolus saturation caused by
magnetization transfer effects and to propose and evaluate an extended model for perfusion …

Phase‐shift time curves following a bolus injection of gadolinium contrast agent were
registered for grey‐matter regions and large vessels in 14 subjects. Deconvolving a tissue …

The purpose of this thesis was to investigate brain anatomy and physiology of subjects with
impaired glucose tolerance (IGT-12 subjects), type-2 diabetes (T2DM-17 subjects) and …
