Abstract
ASL is a low resolution imaging modality that suffers from the partial volume effect, leading to an underestimation of GM perfusion. This effect has two principle causes; blurring from the point spread function in the slice direction, and inadequate resolution due to the need for large voxels to achieve sufficient SNR. Both may act as confounders for measurement of GM CBF abnormalities. Decreased GM perfusion could reflect neuronal loss or metabolic dysfunction; PV correction allows a decoupling of structure and function. We present the first application of a complete PV correction solution for ASL to a cohort of MS patients.
