Abstract/OtherAbstract:
|
MRI offers the ability to visualise and measure blood flow in the human body non-invasively. MR angiography (MRA) provides images of the arterial blood vessels within the body and allows measurement of blood velocities along these arteries. Arterial spin labelling (ASL) is a method for measuring the perfusion of blood into tissue (i.e. blood flow at the capillary level). This provides a key indicator of nutrient supply to the tissue. In this chapter, we have described the technical basis and practical implementation of these methods, emphasising their non-invasive (no contrast agents required) and quantitative nature. |
