title: A quantitative analysis of alternated line scanning in k space and its application in MRI of regional tissue perfusion by arterial spin labeling.
abstract: A quantitative analysis of the alternated-line-scanning method is performed for k-space data acquisition in MRI. Application of the method in MRI of regional tissue perfusion by arterial spin labeling is demonstrated. It is also shown that, by using the alternated-line-scanning method, the degree of arterial spin labeling alpha can be determined in a single scan.
