Arterial spin labeling (ASL) is a means of non-invasive MR perfusion assessment that provides a quantitative map of cerebral blood flow. However, it has not been fully investigated whether the hemodynamic changes in patients with occlusive cerebrovascular disease which affects the reliability of ASL-CBF value. The goal of the current study is to demonstrate arterial transit map calculation as well as CBF based on a two-compartment model using a 3DASL with multi-PLD approach. The comparison of CASL-ATT and O15 PET-OEF was also performed for the demonstration of clinical utility of ATT mapping in patients with chronic occlusive cerebrovascular disease.
