Preoperative localization of the sensorimotor cortex and measurement of tumor perfusion in a single acquisition using ASL technique

초록

Resting state fMRI (rs-fMRI) using arterial spin labelling (ASL) technique was performed for the preoper-ative localization of the sensorimotor cortex in a patient with lymphoma and the results were compared to those of task-based (tb) and rs-fMRI studies using blood oxygenation level-dependent (BOLD) sequence. Rs-fMRI using ASL showed similar results in the regions of the sensorimotor network to those of tb- and rs-fMRI fMRI using BOLD. ASL technique has a potential in clinical practice because all of brain perfusion imaging, cerebral blood flow measurement, and rs-fMRI study can be performed at a single acquisition.
