The goal of this study was to present a novel multi-delay multi-parametric pseudo-continuous ASL (pCASL) protocol which allows simultaneous estimation of cerebral blood flow (CBF), arterial cerebral blood volume and arterial transit time (ATT). Its accuracy was compared with CT perfusion (CTP) in 17 moyamoya patients. Based on both intra- and inter-subject correlation analysis, pCASL and CTP provided highly consistent results for the evaluation of hemodynamics in moyamoya patients. By incorporating delayed ATT in CBF calculation, pCASL is able to provide quantitative multi-parametric perfusion imaging consistent with CTP in moyamoya disease.
