Arterial spin labeling provides important perfusion
information, but it suffers from intrinsically low SNR
and spatial resolution. Since high quality T1 weighted
images are collected in routine MRI procedures, we
present a method to enhance ASL image by incorporating
its local similarity with anatomic images. The proposed
method was evaluated on five tumor patients and results
preserved the low resolution contrast of ASL with
improved CNR and spatial resolution.
