In this study we investigate the effect of moderate exercise on brain cerebral blood flow (CBF) using arterial spin labeling (ASL) measurements. A dedicated setup with an ergometer pedal platform in the MR-BrainPET scanner was utilised. We demonstrated that with this setup and by measuring with pseudo-continuous arterial spin labeling (pCASL), the variations of CBF in a healthy brain during exercise and following exercise can be detected and evaluated.
