Time encoded (a.k.a Hadamard) pseudo continuous ASL
decodes N-1 time steps from N image acquisitions. All N
images are necessary for correct decoding. This means,
that corrupted images, e.g. by motion, can lead to
erroneous decoding and, thus, complete loss of data. To
overcome this limitation a Walsh-ordered and extended
Hadamard matrix is proposed for encoding. It allows the
reconstruction of perfusion data from the second image
acquisition on and a time resolution that increases with
the number of acquisitions. This renders the technique
robust against complete loss of data e.g. by motion of
agitated patients in the clinical setup.
