## Abstract Arterial spin labeling (ASL) is capable of noninvasively measuring blood flow by magnetically tagging the protons in arterial blood, which has been conventionally achieved using instantaneous (PASL) or continuous (CASL) RF pulses. As an intermediate method, pseudocontinuous ASL (pCASL)

## Abstract Continuous arterial spin labeling is known to be the most sensitive arterial spin labeling technique. To avoid magnetization transfer effects and to overcome hardware limitations, several sequences have been proposed that adiabatically label the inflowing blood. Four of these methods ar
Pulsed arterial spin labeling (ASL) techniques provide a noninvasive method of obtaining qualitative and quantitative perfusion images with MRI. ASL techniques employ inversion recovery and/or saturation recovery to induce perfusion weighting, and thus the performance of these techniques is dependen
Under ideal conditions, continuous arterial spin labeling (ASL) techniques are higher in SNR than pulsed ASL techniques by a factor of e. Presented here is a direct theoretical and experimental comparison of continuous ASL and pulsed ASL, using versions of both that are amenable to multislice imagin
