In this study, we tested feasibility of segmented 3D
approach and also optimized compresses sensing (CS)
algorithms, to increase spatial coverage of pCASL-bSSFP.
The segmented 3D approach efficiently increased spatial
coverage of pCASL-bSSFP with no penalty in scan time and
SNR. The pCASL-bSSFP-CS approach also showed good
results with down-sampling factor of 4 that was
converted to increased spatial coverage while no change
in temporal resolution. Segmented 3D pCASL-bSSFP can be
a good solution for high-resolution whole brain
perfusion mapping and pCASL-bSSFP-CS may be useful for
perfusion mapping with limited scan time and/or high
temporal resolution such as fMRI.
