Anaesthetics such as those used for sedation in paediatric MRI affect cerebral blood flow and hemodynamics to varying degrees. This study examines the link between brain perfusion measured by arterial-spin-labelling and cerebral blood flow measured by phase-contrast MRI in 2 cohorts of children undergoing sedation either with propofol or a combination of propofol and ketamine. Significant correlations were observed between these 2 variables for both groups.
