Quantitative arterial spin labeling magnetic resonance imaging analysis of reversible cerebral vasoconstriction syndrome: A case series.

Objective: This study aimed to quantify chronological cerebral blood flow (CBF) changes using arterial spin labeling (ASL) magnetic resonance imaging in patients with reversible cerebral vasoconstriction syndrome (RCVS).

Background: Quantitative ASL analyses in RCVS have not been well described in the literature.

Methods: Quantification of ASL using an automated region-of-interest placement software and a 5-point visual scale of vasoconstriction severity was performed in five RCVS patients.
