We proposed a novel multi-band multi-echo pseudo-continuous arterial spin labeling (M2-PCASL) method to simultaneously measure the cerebral blood flow (CBF) and the blood oxygen level dependent (BOLD) signal. Increased spatial resolution was achieved compared to the conventional method, and experiments were also conducted to show simultaneous measurement of CBF and BOLD signal dynamics in response to hypercapnia. M2-PCASL can be a useful tool for measuring cerebrovascular reactivity and studying neurovascular coupling in various conditions.
