Abstract

Currently, ASL is widely used as an additional breakthrough sequence in MRI due to acquiring reliable results. The case report aims to prove the efficacy and effectiveness of a quantitative method of ASL sequence through the calculation of the cerebral blood flow (CBF) on CBF maps in different cases. ASL sequence has been done on four patients with different cases. Then, the authors put 2 regions of interest (ROI) for measurement in normal and different regions on CBF maps and then calculated the average value result from CBF maps. ASL has been proven as a reliable and breakthrough sequence in MRI for detecting brain disease with a non-invasive method through the calculation of CBF value. ASL should be used as an additional protocol in brain examinations because it allows radiologists to assess the significance of CBF values using a quantitative method that is more reliable and non-invasive.
