Arterial Spin Labeling MRI for Quantitative Assessment of Cerebral Perfusion Before and After Cerebral Revascularization in Children with Moyamoya Disease

Abstract

The nCBF values of the MCA territory obtained from ASL MRI increased after the revascularization procedure in children with MMD, and the degree of nCBF change showed a significant correlation with the degree of collateral formation evaluated via catheter angiography.
