Popis: Arterial spin labeling (ASL) is a non-invasive perfusion MRI scan technique used in pathologies such as Alzheimer’’s disease, cerebrovascular disease, and brain tumors [3]. To obtain absolute quantification of cerebral blood flow (CBF) in mL/100 g/ min, the blood equilibrium magnetization (M0b) is required [1]. For that, M0-scan acquisition is recommended [1]; however, in practice, clinical studies often lack an M0-scan. A control image can be used as an alternative only when background suppression (BSup) is not used. Here, we investigate the possibility to reconstruct an M0 scan from a control image with BS and compare it with acquired M0 scans from the same patients.
