This study introduces a two-compartment model for arterial spin tagging, improving cerebral blood flow (CBF) quantification. Correcting for restricted water exchange enhances the accuracy of Flow-sensitive Alternating Inversion Recovery (FAIR) measurements.

Area of Science:

  • Neuroimaging
  • Biophysics
  • Physiology

Background:

  • Arterial spin tagging (AST) techniques are crucial for non-invasive blood flow measurement.
  • The conventional well-mixed tissue model may not fully capture the complexity of water exchange in brain tissue.
  • Understanding microvascular and extravascular water exchange is vital for accurate physiological parameter estimation.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To extend the existing arterial spin tagging model to a two-compartment system.
  • To investigate the impact of restricted water exchange on cerebral blood flow (CBF) quantification using Flow-sensitive Alternating Inversion Recovery (FAIR).
  • To validate theoretical predictions with experimental data.

Main Methods:

  • Developed a two-compartment model accounting for restricted water exchange between microvascular and extravascular spaces.

  • Analyzed individual FAIR signal intensities for each compartment.
  • Quantified CBF by comparing signal intensities and validated with microsphere data in feline brains at 4.7 T.

    • Main Results:

    • Individual FAIR signal intensities in the two compartments were comparable but temporally distinct.
    • Assuming fast water exchange led to underestimated flow, particularly at higher flows and magnetic fields.
    • FAIR-derived flow values, corrected for restricted exchange, showed strong correlation with radioactive microsphere measurements.

    Conclusions:

    • The two-compartment model provides a more accurate representation of water exchange in AST.
    • Correction for restricted water exchange is essential for precise CBF quantification with FAIR.
    • The findings have implications for improving the accuracy of non-invasive neuroimaging techniques.
