This study aimed to simultaneously measure cerebral blood flow (CBF) and bolus arriving time (BAT) in a cohort of subjects with type II diabetes, and compared the results with those of matched control subjects using a multi-TI 3D GRASE pulsed-ASL (PASL) sequence. The voxel-based analysis showed that the CBF and BAT values in patients with diabetes presented significant differences compared to healthy subjects, especially in some particular areas of the brain. These differences may be related to functional changes in patients with diabetes, which may have occurred before the onset of the symptoms.
