Performing pseudo-continuous arterial spin labeling
(pCASL) at very high magnetic field is challenging as B0
inhomogeneities at the labeling plane, away from the
isocenter, strongly affect the spins phase and thus
inversion efficiency. This study shows that, for an
unbalanced pCASL, performing a label and a control phase
increment correction improves perfusion signal, corrects
asymmetry between brain hemispheres arising when
labeling far from isocenter at high field, and preserves
high image quality at the same time.
