The
porcine kidney is an effective biological phantom due to a dense capillary
system, high rates of in vivo perfusion and an accessible vascular supply
which is integrated easily into a flow circuit. This work demonstrates ASL
based perfusion imaging and reproduces previous results based on CT dye
dilution perfusion measures. A robust, stable model for multi-modality
imaging of perfusion is presented.
