Modeling the effects of dispersion and pulsatility of blood flow in pulsed arterial spin labeling.

Arterial spin labeling (ASL) is a method of using MRI to image cerebral perfusion. For the measurement to be calibrated, a model is required describing the kinetics of the flow of the inverted blood from the labeling region to the imaging region. It is common to assume plug-flow, but alternatives su...
