Arterial Spin Labeling (ASL) is increasingly used in
clinical studies of cerebral perfusion and has shown its
validity in measuring perfusion changes in several
neurodegenerative diseases. The main disadvantage of
this technique is the limited spatial resolution needed
to have a good SNR and the Partial volume effect (PVE)
consequence of the large voxels employed. To correct
this PVE effect and extract clean perfusion maps of only
one single tissue (GM, WM or CSF), we propose an
improvement of Asllanis 2D linear regression method,
with a 3D weighted least squares algorithm, including
weighting matrices for distance and CBF measurement
reliability.
