TL;DR: CASL and T2DSC perfusion methods are comparable in the characterization of meningiomas and CASL is of use in assessing tumor microcirculation.

TL;DR: Double-echo dynamic magnetic resonance (MR) imaging was used to evaluate both vascularity and permeability of tissues simultaneously and the proposed method enables better tissue characterization.

TL;DR: To compare the use of multislice continuous arterial spin labeling (CASL) and CO2 positron emission tomography (PET) to assess CBF in patients with chronic occlusive cerebrovascular disease for the validation of quantitative CASL perfusion in an altered hemodynamic state.

TL;DR: Careful attention should be paid to the underestimation of tumor blood volume resulting from T1 shortening effects when using single-echo perfusion-weighted MR imaging, as double-echo imaging may be more suitable for the analysis of blood volume in GBMs.

TL;DR: In vivo 1H-MR spectra of the left thalamus and frontal lobe were investigated in 20 patients with schizophrenia and 16 age-matched control subjects to replicate the previous postmortem findings and support the hypothesis of thalamic abnormality in schizophrenia.
