Abstract

Arterial spin labeling (ASL) techniques have been implemented across a diverse range of clinical and experimental applications. This review aims to evaluate the current feasibility of ASL in clinical neuroradiology based on recent improvements to ASL sequences and highlight areas for potential clinical applications. This review discusses several factors hindering the implementation of clinical ASL and ASL-related radiofrequency safety issues encountered in clinical practice. However, a limited number of search terms were used. Further development of robust sequences with multislice imaging capabilities and reduced radiofrequency energy deposition will hopefully improve the clinical acceptance of ASL.
