Contrast optimization in arterial spin labeling with multiple post-labeling delays for cerebrovascular assessment.

CONCLUSION: We successfully assessed brain perfusion of patients with asymptomatic CAS using multi-PLD ASL with FA sweep. We were able to show subtle individual differences. Moreover, prolonged arterial transit time in patients was observed, although they were considered asymptomatic, suggesting that it may not be an adequate term to characterize them.
