## Abstract Imaging of activated brain areas based on changes of blood deoxyhemoglobin levels is now possible with MRI. Acetazolamide (ACZ) increases cerebral blood flow (CBF) without changing cerebral oxygen consumption; this results in signal changes observed in gradient echo MR images from the a

## Purpose: To evaluate reproducibility of total cerebral blood flow (cbf) measurements with phase contrast magnetic resonance imaging (pcmri). ## Materials and methods: We repeated total cbf measurements in 15 healthy volunteers with and without cardiac triggering, and with and without repositio
## Abstract We used ^17^O NMR imaging techniques to measure the H~2~^17^O concentration in a 0.8βml voxel in the cat brain following injection of an arterial bolus of enriched H~2~^17^O and during inhalation of enriched ^17^O~2~. We also measured the H~2~^17^O concentration in arterial blood during
## Abstract A saturationβbased approach is proposed to image the arterial blood flow signal with temporal resolution of 1 to 2 s and inβplane spatial resolution of a few millimeters. Using a saturation approach to suppress the undesired background stationary signal allows the blood water that enter
The use of a phase mapping technique for detection of brain perfusion is described. The method was used in a patient with epilepsia partialis continua and displayed an area of abnormal perfusion in the frontal lobe during the ictal phase. Following improved treatment the perfusion pattern was near n
