Background:

  • Arterial spin labeling (ASL) techniques are crucial for non-invasive perfusion imaging.
  • Flow-driven arterial water stimulation with elimination of tissue signal (FAWSETS) is an ASL method for measuring perfusion.
  • Current FAWSETS methods face limitations in acquisition time and clinical applicability.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To enhance skeletal muscle perfusion measurements using custom-built gradients with FAWSETS.
  • To reduce acquisition time and eliminate the need for ischemic control signals.
  • To broaden the applicability of FAWSETS to various organs and clinical settings.

Main Methods:

  • Development and implementation of custom-built gradients for FAWSETS.
