DSC-PWI suffers from blooming, clipping, and saturation effects in large vessels, which make arterial input function (AIF) determination unreliable. To combat this, we used a dual-injection method in which 1/6 of the contrast dose is used to determine the AIF and the remaining 5/6 is used to visualize perfusion in brain tissue. We compared these CBF measurements to pseudo-continuous ASL (pCASL) CBF measurements. The correlation coefficients of 0.85 and 0.63 show good correlation in large ROIs and slightly less good correlation in the small ROIs, respectively. In conclusion, the dual-injection DSC-PWI method provides a reliable, high resolution measurement of CBF.
