Arterial transit time (ATT) is known to influence CBF-quantification and is interesting in itself, as it may reflect underlying vascular pathologies. Currently, no MRI sequence exists to measure ATT in mice. Recently, time-encoded labeling schemes have been implemented in rats and men, enabling ATT-mapping with higher SNR and less scan-time than multi-delay ASL. In this study, we show that time-encoded pCASL (te-pCASL) enables transit times measurements in mice. Furthermore, ATT was found to be preserved in old WT mice.
