This study aims to present the feasibility of multi-TI (mTI)-ASL in distinguishing between AD and SIVD patients in cerebral perfusion. Nineteen SIVD subjects, twelve AD subjects, and ten controls were included in the study. There was no significant difference in CBF between SIVD and HCs, and between SIVD and AD patients. However, significant differences of BAT were detected among all three groups. The mTI-ASL could evaluate the cerebral perfusion of AD and SIVD patients. Compared with CBF, the BAT could better detect perfusion differences and demonstrated better efficiency.
