Performing MRI studies in an intraoperative setting is generally limited due to hardware and patient positioning restrictions. Structural imaging alone might not be sufficient to gather all required information. The goal of this study was to implement pseudo-continuous ASL in the intraoperative neurosurgical setting with limited hardware available and compare the images with measurements obtained pre-, and postoperatively on different clinical MRI scanners. The first application in a patient shows the potential of intraoperative ASL imaging with regards to visualizing residual tumor mass already during the surgical intervention in similar image quality.
