Partial Volume Effects have a profound influence on the perfusion images generated using Arterial Spin Labelling. We are only starting to appreciate how this influences our interpretation of the images and what we can discover when using perfusion imaging in studies. This e-poster seeks to outline the key issues, underlying theory about what effects PVE might have, methods to correct for them, and when correction may or may not be a good idea.
