We are thrilled to announce the successful completion of the EU Horizon 2020 project ASPIRE!
Our collaborative efforts have led to the development of an innovative new prototype for one-click perfusion analysis of ASL images. You can find a demo version of ExploreASL in mTRIAL here

ASL (Arterial Spin Labeling) is a cutting-edge MR imaging technique for contrast agent free perfusion imaging of the brain. It holds immense promise in improving the diagnosis and treatment monitoring of Alzheimer’s Disease. Especially for older adults with cardiovascular risk factors, ASL could be a game-changer.

Thank you all for your hard work and dedication, Gold Standard Phantoms,
Hochschule Darmstadt, Amsterdam UMC and mediri GmbH

Tired of deploying image evaluation scripts on your local machine? ASL image evaluation for brain perfusion analysis can be as easy as this: click, click.
Watch this video to see how images are uploaded from your local network to the central mTRIAL server – pseudonymization on the fly and image categorizaton included.

Just imagine… evaluating brain perfusion on arterial spin labeling images was just one click away. Watch this video to see how we implemented Explore ASL in our mTRIAL platform to facilitate and standardize your next clinical study on neurodegenerative diseases.

Stay tuned to see how easy your data reaches mTRIAL.

We are extremely happy to have a third sponsor on board for our ASL Network Dinner 2024 in Singapore: Quantified Imaging.
A warm welcome to Professor Michael Chappell and Dr Tom Kirk who span out their company from the University of Nottingham in 2023.

30 years after the first successful Arterial Spin Labeling (ASL) MR image acquisition to measure cerebral blood flow in rat brain, the early detection of Alzheimer’s using ASL gains enormous importance with the recent publication of the study results for Lecanemab. Now that there is hope for efficient therapies in dementia diseases, it is a good time to review the steps that have been gone since then. Many initiatives aiming at reliable and comparable quantification of brain perfusion measurements are paving the way for broad usage of ASL in clinical studies focusing on Alzheimer‘s and other dementia diseases.

It’s great to be in-person again. After a meeting on the advances in the ASPIRE project together with GSP and VUmc, mediri enjoyed extensive scientific exchange and insights to latest developments in MRI at ISMRM in London. Also thanks to everyone for joining the ASL Network Dinner during ISMRM 2022.
