This study tested the feasibility of quantitative liver
perfusion measurements using a multi-delay
pseudo-continuous ASL (pCASL) protocol that selectively
labels the hepatic artery and hepatic portal vein
respectively. Estimated mean blood flow of hepatic
artery labeled (4414 ml/100ml/min) and hepatic portal
vein labeled (1409 ml/100ml/min) as well as the
corresponding transit times (1020396,1892164ms) showed
good accordance with the literature. The capability of
non-invasively and selectively labeling the hepatic
artery and portal vein is a unique strength of pCASL for
quantitative liver perfusion imaging.
