Abstract
Numerous techniques have been proposed in the last 15 years to measure various perfusion‐related parameters in the brain. In particular, two approaches have proven extremely successful: injection of paramagnetic contrast agents for measuring cerebral blood volumes (CBV) and arterial spin labeling (ASL) for measuring cerebral blood flows (CBF). This review presents the methodology of the different magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) techniques in use for CBV and CBF measurements and briefly discusses their limitations and potentials. J. Magn.

## Abstract ## Purpose To investigate voxel‐specific arterial input functions (AIFs) obtained through blind deconvolution using complex cepstrum liftering. Blindly estimated AIFs have the potential of reducing dispersion effects in perfusion maps and are completely user‐independent. ## Materials
## Abstract In first pass magnetic resonance brain perfusion imaging, arterial input functions are used in the deconvolution of the observed contrast concentrations to obtain quantitative hemodynamic parameters. Ideally, arterial input functions should be measured in each imaged voxel to eliminate
## Abstract The accuracy of cerebral blood flow (CBF) imaging in humans has been impeded by the partial volume effects (PVE), which are a consequence of the limited spatial resolution. Because of brain atrophy, PVE can be particularly problematic in imaging the elderly and can considerably overesti
