In this work we compare 2D phase contrast (PC) and pseudo continuous arterial spin labeling (PCASL) estimates in subjects with hyperemic cerebral blood flow. We found that B1 ineffiency dependent reductions in labeling efficiency and venous outflow of ASL tracer in PCASL leads to underestimation of PC CBF estimates.
