We developed several ASL sequences at 7T with a FAIR-QUIPSS II labeling scheme and various spiral readout strategies using Pulseq. Iterative algebraic image reconstruction was performed with CG-SENSE, using the field evolution data measured with external NMR probes. Robust performance in detecting brain’s perfusion signal was observed in 2D single- and multi-band spiral acquisitions especially at relatively high spatial resolution, without the requirement for a longer scan time. 3D spiral acquisition showed reduced contrast level in perfusion maps and requires further investigation and optimization.
