## Abstract ## Purpose: To investigate arterial spin labeling (ASL) methods for improved brain perfusion mapping. Previously, pseudoβcontinuous ASL (pCASL) was developed to overcome limitations inherent with conventional continuous ASL (CASL), but the control scan (null pulse) in the original meth
## Abstract Imaging the contribution of different arterial vessels to the blood supply of the brain can potentially guide the treatment of vascular disease and other disorders. Previously available only with catheter angiography, vesselβselective labeling of arteries has now been demonstrated with
Cerebral blood flow (CBF) can be measured noninvasively with nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) by using arterial water as an endogenous perfusion tracer. However, the arterial spin labeling (ASL) techniques suffer from poor temporal resolution due to the need to wait for the exchange of labeled arter
