Abstract
Few institutions use MRI perfusion without contrast injection called arterial spins labeling (ASL) routinely in clinical setting. After general considerations concerning the different ASL techniques and quantitative issues, we will detail a pulsed sequence that can be used on a clinical 1.5-T MR unit. We will discuss and illustrate the use of ASL in tumoral diseases for diagnosis, gliomas grading, stereotactic biopsy guidance and for follow-up after treatment.Entities:
