Dual echo vessel-encoded ASL for simultaneous BOLD and CBF reactivity assessment in patients with ischemic cerebrovascular disease
2014
Magnetic Resonance in Medicine
Purpose-Blood oxygenation level-dependent (BOLD)-weighted and vessel-encoded arterial spin labeling (VE-ASL) MRI provide complementary information and can be used in sequence to gauge hemodynamic contributions ...
However, BOLD signal changes did not differ significantly between labeling scenarios (P>0.003) or across territories (P>0.002), indicating BOLD signal changes in response to carbogen offer low sensitivity ...
Recent evidence suggests that reduction of BOLD SNR as a result of background suppression application during dual echo ASL does not significantly decrease the sensitivity of the BOLD contrast as measured ...
