Keywords: Contrast mechanisms: Perfusion, Neuro: Cerebrovascular

In this lecture, we’ll learn about the physiological and biophysical processes underlying the contrast mechanisms of perfusion imaging, the pulse sequences used to image them, and example applications in clinical imaging and research.

After attending the session, attendees will be able to:

Understand the basic physiological parameters of interest in perfusion imaging
Understand why perfusion is important to measure
Understand the principles underlying the major techniques for imaging perfusion, including contrast-based perfusion imaging and arterial spin labelling
Compare each technique’s strengths and weaknesses in clinical imaging and research
