Synopsis

The purpose of this study was to measure the spinal cord blood flow using high-resolution multi-delay pCASL. An optimized background suppression scheme was applied to suppress the cerebrospinal fluid signal. In-vivo study was performed on 5 healthy subjects. The results show stable cervical spinal cord (C1-C3) blood flow values within the spinal cord ROI, supporting the potential for further development and evaluation studies on noninvasive MRI of spinal cord perfusion.
