Arterial spin labeling (ASL) perfusion MRI with single post-labeling delay (PLD) has been used to noninvasively predict the IDH1 mutation status in glioblastoma patients. However, single-delay ASL can make inaccurate estimations of cerebral blood flows (CBF) due to the variability of arterial transit times (ATT) among individuals. In this study, we applied multi-delay 3D ASL technique with multiple hemodynamic parameters including quantitative ATT, ATT-corrected CBF and arterial cerebral blood volume (aCBV) in glioblastoma. Our results show that aCBV-based relative perfusion parameters may provide a better identification of IDH1 mutation status and is worthy of further verification in future studies.
