Processing and application of arterial spin labeling magnetic resonance imaging
Processing and application of arterial spin labeling magnetic resonance imaging
Abstract
This thesis focuses on the image processing methods for brain perfusion measurement using a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) sequence called arterial spin labeling (ASL). We show the importance of dealing with brain volume changes as a measurement confounder, we propose a framework for integrating all processing steps in a robust processing pipeline, and lastly, we show an application of the ASL acquisition and processing to adverse effect measurements in healthy brain tissue of patients undergoing brain radio-chemotherapy demonstrating the usefulness of the method in uncovering structural and physiological changes in the brain.
