The efficacy of DANTE for vascular
suppression was validated by direct measurement of T2 values of ASL signals
under the application of DANTE. DANTE separates the vascular and tissue
compartments without image degradation.
Averaged ASL images of each PLD with different eTEs and T2
maps in the MNI-space. The left and right panels show the acquired images
without and with DANTE, respectively.
Averaged CBF and transit time (TT) maps in the MNI-space.
