摘要

Measurement of the cerebral blood flow (CBF) with whole-brain coverage is challenging in terms of both acquisition and quantitative analysis. In order to fit arterial spin labeling-based perfusion kinetic curves, an empirical three-parametermodel which characterizes the effective impulse response function (IRF) is introduced, which allows the determination of CBF, the arterial transit time (ATT) and T_(1,eff). The accuracy and precision of the proposed model were compared with those of more complicated models with four or five parameters through Monte Carlo simulations. Pseudo-continuous arterial spin labeling images were acquired on a clinical 3-T scanner in 10 normal volunteers using a three-dimensional multi-shot gradient and spin echo scheme at multiple post-labeling delays to sample the kinetic curves. Voxel-wise fitting was performed using the three-parametermodel and othermodels that contain two, four or five unknown parameters. For the two-parametermodel, T_(1,eff) values close to tissue and blood were assumed separately. Standard statistical analysis was conducted to compare these fitting models in various brain regions. The fitted results indicated that: (i) the estimated CBF values using the two-parameter model show appreciable dependence on the assumed T_(1,eff) values; (ii) the proposed three-parametermodel achieves the optimal balance between the goodness of fit and model complexitywhen compared among the models with explicit IRF fitting; (iii) both the two-parameter model using fixed blood T_1 values for T_(1,eff) and the three-parameter model provide reasonable fitting results. Using the proposed three-parameter model, the estimated CBF (46±14 mL/100 g/min) and ATT (1.4±0.3 s) values averaged from different brain regions are close to the literature reports; the estimated T_(1,eff) values (1.9±0.4 s) are higher than the tissue T_1 values, possibly reflecting a contribution from the microvascular arterial blood compartment.
