## Abstract ## Purpose: To provide the first comparison of absolute renal perfusion obtained by arterial spin labeling (ASL) and separable compartment modeling of dynamic contrast‐enhanced (DCE) magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Moreover, we provide the first application of the dual bolus approach

## Abstract One of the advantages of arterial spin labeling (ASL) techniques over other techniques for measuring cerebral perfusion is that with ASL it is possible to achieve accurate quantification. This is particularly useful in the field of functional imaging, where accurate measurements of perf
## Abstract A method is presented for multislice measurements of quantitative cerebral perfusion based on magnetic labeling of arterial spins. The method combines a pulsed arterial inversion, known as the FAIR (Flow‐sensitive Alternating Inversion Recovery) experiment, with a fast spiral scan image
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
