To achieve comprehensive insight into g-factor, leakage contamination and non-sequential slice acquisition order effects of MB EPI on ASL perfusion imaging, both imaging studies and theoretical evaluations were performed, indicating that even in the presence of inter-slice signal leakeage, MB EPI greatly benefits high-resolution whole brain ASL perfusion imaging with respect to both SNR efficiency and CBF quantification.
