Combining T2 measurements and crusher gradients into a single ASL sequence for comparison of the measurement of water transport across the blood-brain barrier.

CONCLUSION: Of the implemented techniques, TRUST allowed us to follow intravascular signal deeper into the vascular tree than the approach with (relatively weak) crusher gradients when quantifying the transport time of water across the blood-brain barrier.
