Most arterial spin labeling (ASL) techniques apply echoplanar imaging (EPI) because this
strategy provides relatively high SNR in short measuring times. Unfortunately, those …

Patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD) undergoing hemodialysis are known to suffer
cognitive deficits and stroke of unknown etiology. It has been suspected that the treatment …

The linearity of the cerebral perfusion response relative to stimulus duration is an important
consideration in the characterization of the relationship between regional cerebral blood …

Background Little is known about brain mechanisms supporting the experience of chronic
puritus in disease states. Objectives To examine the difference in brain processing of …

Arterial spin labeling (ASL) methods allow for quantitative mapping of tissue perfusion in
absolute units, without the use of contrast agents. In this technique, the magnetization of …

To understand and predict the blood‐oxygenation level‐dependent (BOLD) fMRI signal, an
accurate knowledge of the relationship between cerebral blood flow (ΔCBF) and volume …

A key contributor to the progression of nearly all forms of CKD is fibrosis, a largely
irreversible process that drives further kidney injury. Despite its importance, clinicians …

Arterial spin labeling (ASL) magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) has become a popular
approach for studying cerebral hemodynamics in a range of disorders and has recently …

The coupling of changes in cerebral blood flow (CBF) and cerebral metabolic rate of oxygen
(CMRO2) during brain activation can be characterized by an empirical index, n, defined as …

The sustained negative blood oxygenation level-dependent (BOLD) response in functional
MRI is observed universally, but its interpretation is controversial. The origin of the negative …
