The recent dual-echo arterial spin labeling (DE-ASL) technique has been proposed for the simultaneous acquisition of cerebral blood flow and blood oxygenation level dependent (BOLD) responses to brain activation. In order to compare the performance of DE-ASL and conventional BOLD-fMRI sequences for identifying regions involved in active and imagery movement, single-subject, group and statistical analysis were computed on a group of volunteers. DE-ASL has shown to be suitable for mapping brain functions as well as the fMRI-BOLD both during the movement task and during the imagination of the movement.
