Synopsis

This study aimed to assess whether the efficiency of DANTE, a vascular suppression in ASL, is affected by vascular territories. CBF, transit times (TT), and their rates of change were determined in nine vascular territories from the proximal to distal regions. Although CBF reduction rates were not different among the territories, TT extension rates were lower in the distal region than in other regions. No correlation was observed between TT extension and CBF reduction rates. DANTE efficiency is not affected by transit time or vascular territories. Homogenous vascular suppression effects could be obtained by DANTE-ASL.
