Additional Role of 3D ASL Perfusion in Skull Base Lesions

Abstract

Background Arterial spin labeling (ASL) perfusion imaging is widely used since its main advantage is that no intravenous contrast is needed. Given that perfusion is a crucial biological characteristic for identifying tumor lesions, the qualitative noncontrast perfusion characteristics of these lesions were examined.
