Figure 5.

Combined 4D-ASL-angiography and perfusion imaging. (a) A subset of slices are depicted of the perfusion part of the sequence (acquired with a PLD of 1875 ms) as well as maximum intensity projection images of the angiography readout at multiple PLDs. (b) The encoding scheme in which a ‘free-lunch’-like Hadamard encoding matrix is combined with a dual readout approach. The segmented 3D TFEPI readout module consumes approximately 20% of the available ASL-signal, leading to a 20% lower SNR of the perfusion scan as compared to a perfusion only scan. This small drop in SNR was counteracted by slightly decreasing the spatial resolution.
