Few institutions use MRI perfusion without contrast injection called arterial
spins labeling (ASL) routinely in clinical setting. After general considerations
concerning the different ASL techniques and quantitative issues, we will detail a
pulsed sequence that can be used on a clinical 1.5-T MR unit. We will discuss and
illustrate the use of ASL in tumoral diseases for diagnosis, gliomas grading,
stereotactic biopsy guidance and for follow-up after treatment.
