Cerebral blood flow (CBF) couples to neural activity and can be used to characterize normal brain development. The 3rd trimester is characterized with the rapid brain growth. However, little is known about spatiotemporal changes of CBF of the human brains during this period. We hypothesized CBF dynamics is regionally heterogeneous in the 3rd trimester. In this study, ASL was used for quantifying regional CBF. We aim to acquire highly reproducible and well validated ASL data of perinatal brains in the 3rd trimester with sequence optimization and explore the CBF dynamics during this period.
