ASL CBF signal is derived from the difference between successive
labeling and no-labeling images. The low signal-to-noise-ratio and the pairwise subtraction can then
result in outliers, which can significantly degrade CBF quantification quality
in a typical several minutes scan. A priors-guided adaptive outlier cleaning
algorithm was verified in this study. Our results showed that the proposed
method improved both CBF quantification quality and CBF measurement stability.
