What is ASL?

Arterial Spin Labeling (ASL) represents a modern MRI technique for measuring perfusion, which modifies the magnetization of blood water protons to serve as natural tracers.
This method is entirely non-invasive, eliminating the need for ionizing radiation or external contrast agents.
The non-invasive nature of ASL provides numerous benefits for clinical research: it allows for repeated cerebral blood flow (CBF) measurements as often as needed and is suitable for use in vulnerable groups, such as patients with renal failure or pediatric patients.

Why It Matters: ASL offers a safe and effective way to measure cerebral perfusion, making it ideal for various clinical applications.
