Pulsed-continuous arterial spin labeling MRI (pcASL)
with multiple post-labeling-delay to measure arterial
transit time-corrected tumor blood flow (ATC-TBF) in
renal cell carcinoma was performed and compared to
parametric dynamic contrast-enhanced MRI (DCE-MRI). All
image acquisitions and data post-processings were
successfully achieved in all 6 patients, and high
signals of 5 clear cell carcinomas were visually
identified. Both maximum slope and contrast enhancement
ratio correlated significantly with ATC-TBF. K

but non-significant correlations. pcASL with multiple
PLD appears clinically feasible for measuring ATC-TBF,
which correlated with several hemodynamic parameters of
DCE-MRI.
