The pulse sequence of an arterial spin labeling scan. During image acquisition, one train of inversion-recovery RF pulses is used to “label” the flowing blood in the neck region. During control image acquisition, the inversion-recovery RF pulse is placed in the distal region where the inflow blood cannot be labeled. RF, ratio frequency.
