It is not easy to model the arterial input function (AIF) in small animals because of the small ratio of artery to tissue in a voxel. Hence, cerebral blood flow (CBF) values estimated from DSC images can be inaccurate. As an alternative,the maximum value of the logarithmic signal ratio (maxDELTA R2*) is occasionally used as an indicator of the CBF in the rat brain [3,4]. Toinvestigate the accuracy of CBF indicated by maxDELTA R2* in the ischemic rat brain, a comparison of the CBF values obtained with continuous arterial spin labeling (CASL) and maxDELTA R2* was performed in an ischemic rat model.}, title = {Comparison of cerebral blood flow estimates in the ischemic area of rat brain obtained with dynamic susceptibility contrast and continuous arterial spin labeling}, volume = {14}, year = {2006} }
