Arterial spin labelling (ASL) offers valuable measurements of perfusion in the brain and other organs. However, ASL data have low SNR and are prone to partial volume effects. We present a Bayesian model of anatomically-derived spatial correlation in ASL data (ADRIMO), which improves the accuracy of perfusion estimates and hence improves the analysis of ASL data. The method is assessed experimentally by examining ASL images from a cohort of 130 preterm-born adolescents.
