Non-contrast assessment of blood-brain barrier permeability to water in mice: An arterial spin labeling study at cerebral veins

Blood-brain barrier (BBB) plays a critical role in protecting the brain from toxins and pathogens. However, in vivo tools to assess BBB permeability are scarce and often require the use of exogenous contrast agents. In this study, we aimed to develop a non-contrast arterial-spin-labeling (ASL) based...
