Cerebral blood flow in a tri-ethnic population: insights from pCASL perfusion MRI

Question Prevalence and distribution of arterial transit artefacts (ATAs) on arterial spin labelling MRI, and their relationship to sex, ethnicity, vascular anatomy, and cardiovascular parameters, have not been systematically investigated. Findings ATAs were most prevalent in African Caribbeans, particularly in MCA-PCA borderzones and PCA territories; no significant differences were found between White Europeans and South Asians. Clinical relevance Visual rating revealed substantial differences in the ATA distribution among ethnic populations, as well as between women and men. Recognising these specific patterns can help distinguish physiological from pathological perfusion, thereby enhancing diagnostic accuracy and treatment planning.

Abstract

Question Prevalence and distribution of arterial transit artefacts (ATAs) on arterial spin labelling MRI, and their relationship to sex, ethnicity, vascular anatomy, and cardiovascular parameters, have not been systematically investigated. Findings ATAs were most prevalent in African Caribbeans, particularly in MCA-PCA borderzones and PCA territories; no significant differences were found between White Europeans and South Asians. Clinical relevance Visual rating revealed substantial differences in the ATA distribution among ethnic populations, as well as between women and men. Recognising these specific patterns can help distinguish physiological from pathological perfusion, thereby enhancing diagnostic accuracy and treatment planning.
