A blood transit transit heterogeneity (TTH) mapping method is presented based on the regularised fitting of multi-TI pCASL data. The method applies a gamma variate dispersion model to account for upstream flow dispersion and tissue transit heterogeneity. The approach is shown to have sufficient sensitivity to distinguish a range of TTH times in gray matter and results are comparable with previous ROI based approaches. The mapping of TTH has the potential to be a sensitive marker for cerebrovascular dysfunction.
