In body
perfusion measurement with arterial spin labeling technique, single shot acquisition
was usually used, which suffers from susceptibility induced distortion. A
straightforward way was to reduce readout echo train, which however lead to
lower spatial resolution. In this work, we performed flow sensitive alternating
inversion recovery (FAIR) with reduced FOV excitation to shorten echo train
length while maintaining spatial resolution in prostate cancer perfusion
imaging.
