Pseudocontinuous ASL (pCASL) is an ideal tool for non-invasive perfusion measurements in population-based imaging studies, which require longitudinal scanning with an unchanging MRI hardware and software set-up. Herein we present the results of the implementation and validation of a 3D pCASL sequence for use in the Rotterdam Study, running since 2005.
