Arterial spin labeling (ASL) offers non-invasive cerebral blood flow (CBF) measurements, but typically suffers from low signal-to-noise ratio, limiting the achievable spatial resolution. In this work, we employ 3D EPI ASL at 7T, partially-overlapping acquisition of multiple slabs and across-session averaging to achieve a high-quality whole-brain 0.7 mm3 isotropic resolution CBF map from a healthy volunteer. The dataset presents the highest spatial resolution CBF map in humans so far, and a unique opportunity to investigate the cortical distribution of baseline CBF across and within brain areas, including providing a physiological basis for the interpretation of laminar and columnar fMRI.
