The purpose of this study is to investigate the relationship between pseudo-continuous ASL (pCASL) perfusion and the parameters of relative perfusion (R1) and tracer distribution volume ratio (DVR) derived from PiB-PET in 25 familial Alzheimers disease related subjects. The spatial patterns between pCASL CBF and PiB-PET R1 are highly consistent with significant voxel-wise correlations, whereas the correlation between pCASL perfusion and PiB-PET DVR is negative across subjects. Our study supports the validity of both pCASL and PiB-PET as imaging markers of Alzheimers disease.
