Comparison of Qualitative and Quantitative Analyses of MR-Arterial Spin Labeling Perfusion Data for the Assessment of Pediatric Patients with Focal Epilepsies

The role of MR Arterial-Spin-Labeling Cerebral Blood Flow maps (ASL-CBF) in the assessment of pediatric focal epilepsy is still debated. We aim to compare the Seizure Onset Zone (SOZ) detection rate of three methods of evaluation of ASL-CBF: 1) qualitative visual (qCBF), 2) z-score voxel-based quant...
