A 3D multi-TI arterial spin-labeling (mTI-ASL) protocol had been applied to measure the blood perfusion of patients with brain tumor. This study present the feasibility of mTI-ASL for brain tumors in the clinical environment and compare it with dynamic-susceptibility contrast-enhanced perfusion imaging (DSC) to test the hypothesis whether mTI-ASL could substitute DSC in brain tumor cases. The results shows the performances of mTI-ASL in measuring CBF and timing information of blood flow were consistent with DSC. Thus, the perfusion information and the results obtained by dynamic contrast-enhanced technique could be obtained with only one single contrast agent injection.
