Functional activity, metabolism and blood flow are locally heterogeneous in the brain, but tightly coupled. This adjustment occurs in two different ways: 1. Short-term, dynamic coupling mediated by local vasoactive factors that ensure second-to-second regulation. 2. Long-term, static coupling appare
Measurements of tumor blood flow (TBF) are important for understanding tumor physiology and can be valuable in selecting and evaluating therapies. Brain tumors typically present reduced blood flows compared to normal brain tissue. This study shows that the arterial spin labeling (ASL) technique can
