Table 2. The average GM CBF (in mL/100 g/min) in the quantifiable ASL and PET scans and the tSNRs of the five different ASL scans, both evaluated at subject level (mean±s.d.).
PET CBF | AccASL | Single VS-ASL | Dual VS-ASL | pCASL no crush | pCASL crush | |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
GM CBF | 47.1±6.5 | 46.7±4.1 | 60.7±10.9 | 49.2±9.2 | ||
tSNR | 6.96±1.42 | 5.04±0.85 | 3.49±0.50 | 8.40±1.41 | 7.05±1.19 |
Abbreviations: AccASL, acceleration-selective arterial spin labeling; GM CBF, gray matter cerebral blood flow; pCASL, pseudo-continuous ASL; PET, positron emission tomography; tSNRs, temporal signal-to-noise ratios; VS-ASL, velocity-selective ASL.
